that piece struck me as a bit over the top. There are clearly some rumblings beneath the surface, but my Saudi expert friends assure me that the regime will be able to keep a lid on things comfortably so long as oil stays above the high teens a barrel, thus giving it the ability to continue buying off key interest groups. I'm not a particularly big fan of Eric Rouleau, but in the current FA he has a report on the state of things in Saudi Arabia that folks might find worth a look. I'd take the first part (about how it's all Israel's fault) with a grain of salt, simply because that's the line the regime itself wants to push, and focus on the rest of the piece, which talks about some of the domestic stresses there.
