involvemt of Saudi Arabia brings ME situation to next level
Saudi is the home of the majorest of the major Islamic holy sites
it is the home of Mecca with the main tabernacle
it is also the home of Medina, where many mosques are located
Iraq has a few shrines, but distant 2nd to Saudi

Saudi is the backbone of Western support by Arabs
most of Saudi is populated by moderate Sunnis
it is the foundation of crude oil price stability

I have been waiting for Saudi to get dragged in
their Royal Family is a bunch of decrepit, corrupt, lazy, debauched sumbitches who have horded the nation's wealth for 35 years
they sold out and allowed Americans to use their land for airbases
this act alone undermined the Saud rule more than any other single action

we are now about to enter a new Islam-West conflict
I expect the Royal Family behind King Faisal to fall
and when it does, we have extreme economic disruptions
