Hi frankw1900; Re: "US is pretty well out of Saudi now. Something's going on there but how that's going to fall out isn't at all clear."

My fear is that the people of Saudi Arabia will revolt against the corrupt kingdom and create an Islamic state. The pattern for this is the fall of the Shah of Iran.

If this happens, we can expect the oil production of Saudi Arabia to be cut way back, just like the Iranians did. The resulting shock could bring some really tough economic times for us.

This is one of the results of the Iraq invasion that was repeatedly warned against.
