Irregardless of the dissident's motivation and agenda, the royals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are in deep trouble. They can't grow their way out of their financial troubles. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is riding a terrorist tiger which they created and that corrupt ruthless repressive regime is headed the way of the dodo bird just like the Shah of Iran to extinction.

It is trully astounding the wealth that country has squandered and has nothing to show for it as compared to some of the other countries in the Gulf region like the U.A.E., Bahrain, Qatar, and the Sultanate of Oman. Saudi Arabia is like a ghetto.

I agree 100% with your post. Question is, when the Saudi royalists fall, who will fill the vacuum? Without outside interference (US), it would most likely be taken over by the Waahibist (sp?) that they nurtured for so long.

Many years ago Saudi Arabia made the choice to appease radical Islam instead of confronting it. Their decision to fund the spread of radicalism has come home to roost and it's time to pay the piper. The only problem is that we cannot afford to see the House of Saud fall into the hands of the radicals and form an Islamic Republic when they control much of the worlds supply of sweet crude. This kind of economic power is just what the blood thirsty demons like Osama bin Laden have been chanting to Allah about for years, We must make sure this doesn't happen
