 | | BURAYDAH, Saudi Arabia -- Men in Buraydah, an ultraconservative desert town, are ready to fight on Iraq's behalf and oppose American forces if their government allows them to cross the border -- much like past generations of moujahedeen, including Osama bin Laden, who traveled from the kingdom to faraway wars in Afghanistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina. |
