[Patria One]

Saudi Arabia is a fairly benign theocracy with a democratic twist in that the AL Saud rules by the support of the people and they still hold majlis every day. I would hardly call them corrupt. In fact, I would suggest that they are LESS corrupt than our Congressmen other government officials.

Sorry, Pat. I usually agree with you but we part company here. Any country with 7000 obscenely rich princes qualifies as a corrupt and venal monarchy to me.
