Maybe we could, but in practice we can't, for the very reasons people
have stated.  The message that was posted gave you all the information
we actually have -- it's a site that is apparently operated by the
Kingdom.  Whether it will work for you is a decision you must make
yourself.

I am a dual US-Canadian citizen who has had trouble entering the
United States on my US passport because the guy at the border didn't
think Merrikans should live in another country.  There are literally
_no_ very clear cases when crossing international borders, and there
never have been, and the best anyone can do is give you the
information they have and urge you to make a decision according to
your best analysis.  I believe that IASA has done this.

Best regards,
