PCG..

If I give you my answer you may not believe me but it would not be very different..if different at all..than the answer king Faisal gave to an american official I believe (it might be harry kissinger)..he said to the king..what would you do without us? no US no oil out of ground..u don't have the expertise...no cars would run and so on..

King Faisal replied we have camels to transport and have our ground and animals wealth for food..

Guess what?

They played a key role in assasinating him!
