Doesn't matter, oil would still spike. Look at the $40 mark that we hit during the gulf war. Also keep in mind that the major Saudi oil fields are right on the border between Iraq and Saudi. The US can stop invaders, but can't stop a revolution from w/ in. As oil prices drop, Saudi gets less money and so do their unhappy people.

It's just something I read a while back that I remembered when Papaya said something about Saudi. It sounds plausable. I guarantee you this, something WILL happen in the middle east over the next 20 yrs that will spike oil prices up. It might not be this, but when you've got Israel (nukes), Iraq, Iran and Palestinians all in one place. That's recipe for somebody getting turned into a parking lot.
