...Saudi attacks raise a further question: Will al-Qaeda now move to translate its hostility to U.S.-allied Arab regimes into direct attacks on those regimes, or will it simply target U.S. personnel and civilians on their soil?

And after Gulf War II, such warnings tend to grab people's attention...

In Mager’s final year, for example, a relentlessly tough senior class willed the team to victory down the stretch behind the rubber arm of Ben Crockett ’02. The clichés were easy to latch on to.
