"The United States signals a major shift in Gulf policy, agreeing with Saudi Arabia to withdraw virtually all its troops from the kingdom."

Although there aren't a lot of hostilities between the U.S. and Saudi's, there are rumblings in the middle east that Saudi Arabia is one country that needs to reform it's government from a royal-based to more democratic. What role will the U.S. play in this process now that we don't have military bases to protect in SA?

There are many more wild times to come here. I'm wondering how this is being reported in the Saudi press and around the middle east?

"Is there a template that the Post function next to each entry in the News Aggregator uses when it pre-populates my Home page posting text area? I'd like to modify it a bit."

Basically, when a news story pops up in my aggregator, I usually make the decision to read the full story based on the title or summary given. So I want to post those items, along with the link to the full story. And my news aggregator software has a simple 'Post' link next to each item that puts the information into my form for posting (kind-of giving me a head start). Well, I want to modify that head-start.

I want to be able to use that head-start as the full post, just in case I don't want to add anything to it. And I want it to look good if I decide to add my comments to the story underneath it.

I'm not really explaining this very good at the moment, so I'll stop.

[Later...] OK, so I didn't stop. Here's a story with pictures to try and illustrate (document) what I'm trying to go for.
