Saudi Arabia: Rescue or Entanglement : Tariq Alhomayed

This is not the first time that the Afghans have requested that Saudi Arabia intervene to end the conflict in their country, but is only the latest and most serious request, as can be seen by what the Afghan President said publicly during the London Conference last week. Karzai said that he looked forward to the "key role" that is played by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and revealing his vision for Afghan reconciliation said "we hope that His Royal Highness King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz consents to play the role of guiding and supporting this [reconciliation] process."

The question that must be asked today is: What is required from Saudi Arabia today; the rescue of Afghanistan, the US saving face, or is it Saudi Arabia becoming entangled in Afghanistan once again? - Saudi Arabia: Rescue or Entanglement
