serious discussion of policy options in the event of a Saudi collapse of the emergence of a fundamentalist government. We were discussing this yesterday, Steve. It would depend, I suppose, on three things. 1) How bad the "Collapse" was 2) What we were involved with at the time 3) What forces were available We could 1) Do nothing 2) Use proxy force, IE, the "Hashmenite option" we talked about 3) Invade and take over ourselves The "Fundamentalist" Mullahs in SA seem to be the same crowd as the Taliban. I suspect that the Princes will make some sort of Internal deal to keep the big bucks they are getting, and we will not have to get involved.
