Yep, good post. It is inevitable that this will all eventually turn to SA. The rest is a sideshow IMO.

>>I believe Saudi Arabia will be in grave trouble next summer I expected the House of Saud to fall<< You are not alone on this Jim. I heard/read quite a few scholars/analysts on ME have said this, and they also predicated that the US would have to station 100,000 soldiers and occupied Iraq for many years down the road, facing snappers from all directions.

Re trade imbalance: Ur still winning the debate on this one -- per Noland >>April data from the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are worth highlighting. Combined Inbound Containers jumped 10% from March to the highest level since August, and were up 7% y-o-y. Conversely, Outbound Containers declined 8% for the month to 3% below the year ago level. Containers leaving the two ports empty were up 29% y-o-y, and accounted for 57% of total Inbound Containers for the month. <<
