President's Speech in Saudi Arabia: an opportunity and a blunder

The speech President Trump gave in Saudi Arabia to an assemblage of Sunni Moslem Nations was very well delivered. It is a speech his recent predecessors could well have given because the goal of wiping out extremist terrorism knows no party divisions in our country. It is a tremendous opportunity and the President mostly hit all the right notes. The one area where the President may have blundered was seeming to put most of the onus for the Middle East difficulties on Iran and the terrorist groups it sponsors. Now signaling out the radical Wahabi Saudi-sponsored terrorist groups (You know them by the Al Queda and ISIS groups they helped inspire) on Saudi soil may not have been advisable, the President may be should have struck a more neutral tone in his speech. President Obama knew this and the Saudis resented him for it. Unfortunately, in the Middle East, there are not very saints but there are a lot of sinners. The President and his team should keep that in mind.
