Thanks for the welcome, C2 and for the Merry Xmas. Ditto to you and your family. The best article I've read in the most recent issue is by Michael Scott Doran entitled "The Saudi Paradox." Doran offers, at least for me, a quite different way to read Saudi Arabia. I've been following his work since 01 and found it particularly helpful. He takes the conflict between Abullah and Nayef, the modernizers, the inclusive Sunnis with the traditionalists, the exclusive Wahhabis as one interpretive thread. And adds a second, the Wahhabi hatred for the Shias. And then reads that across Saudia Arabian politics. And a portion of ME politics as well. I recommend this piece highly. foreignaffairs.org.
