Title: The Enemy of Enemy is My Friend
Topic: Saudi Arabia

Discussed by Dr. Paul Bonicelli
with Regent University (www.Regent.edu)

The death of anyone is always heartbreaking. The death of Saudi King Abdullah is not only tragic for the people of Saudi Arabia, but for the world, as well. Relations between Saudi Arabia and The United States has been rocky, at best, for a very long time. However, is this the chance we’ve been waiting for? Can America finally be allies with Saudi Arabia?

Dr. Bonicelli served President George W. Bush and America in the United States Agency for International Development. He is currently the Executive Vice President at Regent University. Dr. Bonicelli explains how the different religious beliefs among the people in the Middle East cause a great deal of tension among the countries, which will probably intensify with the new king in Saudi Arabia.

Should we assume the worst and prepare for it? Or sit on the sidelines and let the people in the Middle East just duke it out? Dr. Bonicelli believes we need to be on high alert and sleep with one eye open. President Obama has a “be-nice-to-everyone” policy. He firmly believes that if we are nice to our enemies, they will leave us alone. He really needs to get his head out of the sand.

Listen in as Dr. Bonicelli discusses the seriousness of the situation in the Middle East and what he believes must be done.
