Alwaleed, al-Naimi in the TIME 100

Time magazine has come out with its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and there are two Saudis on the list: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the country’s richest man; and Ali al-Naimi, the the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. Can you think of other Saudis who should be on the list?

    Shaikh Salman took a wrong turn somewhere. The best thing for him is to migrate to a different country and start fresh.

    Well, Osma bin Laden should be on the top of the 100 bigShots. Anyways, Al-Waleed shouldn’t be included “I mean COME ON, r u kidding me”, he is not the richest nor the smartest among the princes.
    How about our king ? “I believe he deserves to be on the list.
