One of my friends over here is convinced that once the US leaves Iraq, our military will depart the entire Gulf region, with the eventual result being a major regional civil war as the Shias try to take Mecca and Medina from the Sunnis.

Wouldn't it be easier and more profitable to try to take the Saudi Eastern Province instead? It's inhabited by Shias already, and it has all the Saudi oilfields.
