Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Suicide bombers hit three expat housing compounds. So far about 10 US citizens dead (would have been lots more but as luck would have it, 50 Americans from a building that was decimated, were away on a training). In total more than 90 dead so far and around 200 injured. The obvious planning that went into this attack, the synchronicity... it smacks of Al Qaeda. Seems they implied they were responsible for the attack. An FBI team is going over there to assist in the investigation.



I'm biting my lip to not say I told you so... dammit! Dammit! DAMMIT!

I wish the right-wing US government would stop their posturing, ditch their power games agenda and focus on the problem - fix it instead of adding to it.

That way the world would be a safer place for us all. Right now it's becoming more dangerous by the day.



Oh... why am I focusing on the few American casualties and not on the many more other nationalities?? Because I believe the Americans were the primary target, the rest was all just colateral damage (nifty terminology, hey, US wartalk).
