Argument sake, let us say, Saudi Arabia is destablised to a point due to economy that ruling princes are overthrown.. That would be a perfect nightmare scenario for the markets as well as mid east I think.. On the other hand, I understand Saudi Arabia could not really function if they did not have all these foreign workers Your right about the nightmare scenario, best to leave things as they are. Any talk of democracy in Saudi Arabia really misses the point - nobody there cares about it. The country is a bunch of fat pigs rich on oil. Those who aren't Royals or connected to the family are given sufficient subsidy so they don't have to work. In the times I have been to Saudi Arabia I have never seen a Saudi work - NEVER. Your comment about foreign workers is true, the economy functions by the work of foreign nationals, mainly people from Egypt, Lebanon, and the Phillipines.
