Do you mean "but better to deal with the devil you can control, than the one that you can't." Hmm, example Iran.And were the Saudis to fail from power, the power vacuum that would result would likely permit the Wahhabists to seize total control over that country, which would necessitate an armed confrontation with them. If it failed, it will be from our own doings. Our policies in ME are geared to support tyrants and murderers in the case of Israelis. What makes you choose Whahabists to replace the current regime? There are many possibilities for your scenario. As for the armed confrontation, I ask you why? Not only I believe this it is not necessary, I also believe that we will lose badly. There are also many alternatives to armed confrontation.And that's a recipe for creating an uproar in the entire Muslim world. Since when, an uproar in the Muslim world prevented the US and Israel from killing Muslims? Are you slipping?I would much rather have the Hashemites step back into their previous role as rulers over the Holy Cities of Islam. They strike me as much more pragmatic and moderate ROFLOL, we well know your intentions. Having the Hashemites controlling Saudi Arabia, will insure the ultimate Zionists dream of Greater Israel. And then the Palestinians wouldn't have an excuse for claiming they don't have a Palestinian state. You see, you can be read like an open book. Alas, you and your Zionists aspirations are costing us dearly in blood and treasure. unless of course you mean that the Heshimites will conquer Israel and give the land back to the Palestinians. LOL.
