Saudis 'Outraged' Over Supertanker Hijacking

I'd probably feel a bit more sympathetic to their plight if they showed such "outrage" over terrorism in the past. You know, how their own citizens studying Wahhabism in their own madrassas have fomented terrorism. It's one thing to pay lip service when you're own interests are attacked. Now that you've gotten a very small taste of what it's lie, it kinda sucks, doesn't it?
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister says the hijacking of a Saudi oil supertanker by Somali pirates is "an outrageous act."

The MV Sirius Star was seized Saturday off the Kenyan coast and was being taken to a Somali port.

Prince Saud Al-Faisal says in the Saudi government's first public comments on the hijacking that there is a need to fight piracy.

He said during a visit Tuesday to Athens that "piracy, like terrorism, is a disease which is against everybody, and everybody must address it together."
Take a few concrete steps to combat terrorism and I might be willing to listen. Until then, take a look in the mirror, pal.
