Major blow to fundamental islam and a boon to modernization of the Middle East.

This is very good news, but....

I wonder to what lengths the Wahhabis' will go to retain their power and influence.

The Prince needs to be very careful from now on.

Not much change, the Saudis are still willing to fight terrorism to the last dead American.

The Prince needs to read “The Prince” by Machiavelli and do what’s necessary.

I read one website and the reader comments were saying this guy might like wars, as the wars Saudi Arabia has been involved in lately. As for the “Arab Spring”, this is what those nations against Qatar are peeved about. Qatar has been for these Arab Springs, KSA, Saudi Arabia and comrades against it.

That’s what I read, whether it is true or not, I don’t know.

It sounds to me like militant expansionist Sunni Supremacism. SA is trying to take out rival governments for Sunni leadership and stir up sectarian conflict at the same time. That guarantees years of conflict across the region.
