24 of 29 of the terroriststs involved with 911 were from that country. Yet they are not part of trumps travel ban. Somehow this never gets talked about. What exactly have the Saudis done in those last years that make us think they are not a terrorism incubator?

The logical answer is nothing. We have Nationlist or corporate interests to keep Good relations despite the fact they may be the logical source of terrorism

Seriously. Very Muslim country that has spawned terrorists in very recent years. Yet they are not banned. Other countries on the list account for no acts of terrorism against USA. Seems like a Money thing.

Probably has to do with the fact that the Saudi government is able to vet citizens who travel and share that info with the US. Saudi Arabia has also been active in fighting terrorism.
