Their vision 2030 plan is actually an attempt to strike at the root cause of terrorism and religious extremism: economic disparity.

But you've probably never heard of their 2030 vision plan because it is never really reported on, and it looks like you're just repeating talking points, so good luck.

I haven't heard about vision 2030 but the quote as posted makes it sound like the root of the problem was that SA is poor and the people suffer "economic disparity". If only they were't so cash strapped all this time...

So, whose economic disparity are we talking about and why couldn't the trillions generated from sale of oil do anything about it?

Those trillions were gone to save Saud House.

How bout you go read about their vision 2030 plan before judging the whole thing on my poorly worded anonymous internet comment? It's a pretty big change to the structure of their entire society.

How about you link what you're referring to, from an official or reputable source? I'll believe the Sauds aren't trying to further their continued power when I see it.

Here is the link to Vision 2030, but no mention of anything

I mean OBL was a wealthy man, but that didn't stop him from going down the path of terrorism and religious extremism
