Israel sees how the global political alignment has tilted against it, has had to come to grips with the new reality and look for ways to secure itself in ways thought untenable until now.
I've often heard in anecdotal reference regarding the extent in which Sunni and Sh'ite consider each other to be a religious status worse than that of Jews, one in which is emphatically proven to be the case with the alignment of the strangest sort of bedfellows that boggle the geopolitical mind, that puts Israel and the unlikeliest sort of cohabitants namely the terror funding tribe that is the House of Saud, in pragmatic opportunism against a common foe.
The gulf royals are the moderate Muslims Bush keeps talking about. The problem is that their populations are not anywhere near as moderate. And any deviations from religious orthodoxy on the part of the royals could lead to assassination attempts or even coups. The Shah's attempt to secularize the country led to the Iranian revolution. Unfortunately, inside every Muslim isn't an American struggling to get out.
