>>Yeah, give it a year, and we will be able to tell the House of Saud to stuff it.<<

They've got massive -- and rising -- unemployment, and no clue as to what to do about it.

They need us ("us" being the West) as bad as we need them ("them" being their oil -- we don't have much use for Saudi princes as such.)

Unless Allah works a miracle and puts the House of Saud in charge of the rest of the world, they're going to have to figure out how to earn an honest living for a change.
