Saudi Tells Bush U.S. Must Temper Backing of Israel

"If Sharon is left to his own devices, he will drag the region over a cliff," Adel al-Jubeir, the foreign policy adviser to the crown prince, said after the meetings between Mr. Bush and the prince. "That does not serve America's interests, and it does not serve Saudi Arabia's interests."

And a reponse might be, "If Arafat is left to his own devices, he will drag the region into fire." Ah well, to each their side.
