Roland: Peter, I'm talking to Majid Al Kaki. A Saudi engineer typical of the many young men here who have not felt obligated to serve in their country's defense. Majid, is there no sense of duty among men you age? Majid: Mr. Hedley, my faith tells us "Insh 'Allah'" as God wills. Our country is in his hands, not ours! Besides, if it were a true crisis, like the U.S. insists, why hasn't our king declared a draft or trained what volunteers there already are? Roland: Because the U.S. is picking up the slack! Majid: Smart man, our king.
