I expect we will be beating very hard on the Sauds to begin transition to a British-type monarchy with more open and tolerant education for the masses. Militants in Saudi Arabia will be weeded out. They may be called terrorists by the Saudis with our acquiesence before this is over. You have to understand that King Fahd has been incapacitated since suffering a severe stroke, in late 1995. Several of his sons are trying to position themselves to become the next head of state. It seems more like to me that Saudi Arabia will follow the path of Iran in 1979 than for them to do any of them things that you mentioned. Here is a link to the New Yorker Article: newyorker.com
