The end game is of course power. Control of WMD as a means to gain control of a sizeable portion of ME oil provides a clear path to the end game.

The Saudi's are being bad mouthed because they are fomenting and exporting the ideology that ultimately places our oil interests at risk in the ME.

The 'stans and Russia can be a nuisance, but I suspect over the next 25 years they will be nothing more than that. The Arab's are sitting on the big prize and the other oil providing nations are just stepping stones on the way to that prize.

The Israeli's, the Palestinians and other Arabs can go on destroying each other, it only really gets our attention when it may effect oil supply and or blood shed spills over onto our soil.

By putting a lid back on it, do you think the lid has ever been back on since the West led the formation of many of the nations in question?
