However, my opinion is that such a sentiment is meaningless as long as the Saudi Royal Family continues to fund the Fundamentalist Schools that act as recruiting grounds for al Qaeda throughout the Muslim world, and particularly in Pakistan.

Every rapper in America is now jealous of George Bush. If King Abdul Aziz would have waited 13 months, Bush would have been allowed to keep it. Be wary of poll numbers. That’s some serious bling.

Shows that not all muslim countries are similar. <i>52 percent would support Saudi Arabia’s development of nuclear weapons</i> I think in any country with a significant amount of nationalist sentiment you would see some support for developing nukes. I wouldn't necessarily take this figure as a proxy for imperial ambitions or anti-Israel opinion.
