“So Saudi is behind the arab spring. The same country which spawned 19 of the 20 9/11 hijackers. The same country which invented radical Islam.”

I don’t know how you got that from the article. The Saudis have no interest at all in the Arab spring. It’s a nightmarish scenario for them and the other gulf momarchies. They just don’t want to pass up the opportunity to destroy the Assad regime and potentially reign in Iranian influence in the Arab world. They’re exploiting the situation, but I think they’d just as soon have the trend toward protests movements cool down a bit.

Assad is a bad man. Worse people will end up taking control once he is killed.

Perhaps the Saudi’s will offer Russia a lot of oil to attack Isreal.
