Once Iraq falls, Syria will be next and then the Saudis will be completely isolated. At that point they will be forced to repress their Wahabbi zealots or face the potential return of the Hashemites to ruling over the peninsula...

I'm fascinated by this idea. It would be brilliant. We would at once co-opt the Pan-Arabism of our enemies and install a Western friendly, constitutional monarchy whose King is a direct descendent of Mohammed. Syria-Iraq-Jordan. And if necessary, Saudi Arabia. Am I nuts?
