"It is a mistake to think that our people will not do what is necessary to survive," the person close to the crown prince told the Times, "and if that means we move to the right of (Saudi-born extremist Osama) bin Laden, so be it; to the left of (Libyan leader Muammar) Gaddafi, so be it; or fly to Baghdad and embrace Saddam (Hussein, Iraq's president) like a brother, so be it. It's damned lonely in our part of the world, and we can no longer defend our relationship to our people."
