But that was a box that was destined to open itself far more explosively at some point down the road..

I would have ended the sentence with the phrase "..with Saddam at the helm enriched (and therefore armed) by money skimmed from the oil-for-food program."

The UN scandal may shed some light on the reasons why we were opposed by other countries as vigorously as we were.

The suggestion that we have endangered the Saudi royals and therefore our oil supply becausewe invaded Iraq strikes me as odd. OBL and his ilk have had their eyes on Saudi oil for years--the Iraq war did not change that goal at all.
