Reforming the House of Saud is all but impossible. Lavish economic
engagement with the West has only entrenched it more firmly in its barbarism. "Stability" means letting
layabout princes use Western oil revenues to seduce their people into anti-Western nihilism. On the other
hand, blithely burning it down offers quite a bit of hope, given that no likely replacement would provide the
ideological succour to the Islamakazis that Saud-endorsed Wahhabism does.


Has anyone come across a serious discussion of this? Especially the last point.
