A genuine move for democratic revolution in neighboring Iran. But Obama betrayed the protesters and left them to the mercies of the Besijji rape-police

What happens in Iran is up to the people of Iran, who, by all evidence, overwhelmingly support the regime.

Western-sponsored coups that install a government by the 5% of the population that are westernized end in disaster, usually after some sort of war.

What happens to "protesters" in some barbaric craphole is not the responsibility of "Obama", or any other American President.

The Saudis could save some money if they stopped the worldwide support of radical mosques and schools.

"of course Saudi Arabia is doomed to fail, They are letting females drive."

I can't wait to see the State Farms Commercial where a Female Saudi Driver gets the lower Insurance Rates.... ;-)

During the Obama administration, all of America's allies have been abandoned, including Saudi Arabia and the last player, Israel

Saudi Arabia, far from being our "ally" is, together with Pakistan, our principal enemy in the current religious war.

Obama is the President because of Bush's mind-boggling mismanagement of the events following the Saudi-Baluchi attack on New York. By attacking Iraq, which could have been much better used as an ally in our march on Riyadh, we wasted the lives of 4500 irreplaceable heroes, crippled 30 000 others, and pissed away trillions of dollars, for nothing.

It takes a special mental disposition to refer to Saudi Arabia as an American ally. The sooner the heads of the al-Saud clan fall to the sword, the better.

There are two ways to describe it: as a political enterprise with a clever but ultimately unsustainable business model, or so corrupt as to resemble in its functioning a vertically and horizontally integrated criminal organization.

So...the US Government sees the Saudis as kindred spirits? :)

People who don't publicly support the Iranian regime don't fare well. The political junta in Iran is held in place by imported religious police who brutally crack down on dissent and who rape protesters to death. Or hang them from cranes.

So you know, that.

Since 2009 Obama has handed the regime a string of concessions and foreign policy wins. Iran now gets to sell their oil and build nuclear weapons. He's allowing another vile extraction economy to replace, or to compete with, Saudi.

The Iranian government now feels invincible. To much of the populace they are 'the strong horse that faced off the great satan'.

Obama has effectively stabilized the Iranian junta and placed it on firm foundations. We will be dealing with the fallout from his murderous decisions for as long as we've been dealing with Carter's.

If they are truly this desperate, they’d stop importing foreign maids and drivers, clean their own homes and drive their own women.
The cost of that support labor would be relatively low, but it would eliminate at least 10% of the population.

I understand your analysis and pain, I share it too. The House of Saud has, for many years pretended to be our friends. They were considered what our “experts” like to call, a “Moderate” Arab nation.
Now you're 100% correct in that they have been playing us for fools for decades but that is the way it suited us then.

You don't send in the Marines to (a then) allied nation. Iraq may have been a mistake but the US should have crippled Iran then, not Iraq.

Again, if the House of Saud goes down the tubes, Iran will get the oil fields. Is that a better post-Obamian world order?
Now, what about the Israelis?

Would you agree that the Saudi Royal family knows it has an expiration date on the Arabian Peninsula and is the reason they are so heavily invested in global real estate, particularly in Switzerland and other perceived safe-havens?

I studied Saudi Arabia extensively while getting my MBA ...

I would be interested in your opinion regarding the relationship between the Saudi ruling and religious classes.

Question: Do the rulers of Saudi Arabia defer to the religious leaders of Saudi Arabia as a political necessity or out of devotion to Islam?

If the answer is both, which force is the stronger?

Now, what about the Israelis?

What about them?

They're in a tough spot. Hopefully they can hang on.

It's fortunate that their enemies are for the most part Arabs, not exactly known for social cohesion and martial valor, but there ARE a lot of them.

I would not blame them if they nuked the Iranian facilities.

As far as the big picture, there are two opposing arguments. The first is that they occupy the land (including Judea and Samaria) by a royal deed (Genesis 12:1-9) and have the right to smite (kill) all their enemies and disputants. The second is that they occupy the land because of international law and some resolutions passed by the United Nations.

Unfortunately for the people who live there, the government of Israel has been pleading its case using argument #2.

The same UN that told them they could go there will, some day, tell them they must leave. What they will do then is anybody's guess.

I wonder how all of this figures with Psalm 83 and also Daniel.

See Netz' post at #5. I think he lays it out pretty well.
