The loss of revenues that the Saudis would encounter by lowering prices would be partially offset by increased volume. The ideal scenario would be to drop prices to the point where the Saudis have just enough revenue to support their internal welfare state, but not enough to finance exporting radical Islam to the world
And the more the Saudis produce, the sooner they come to the point where they've exhausted their oil, and go back to being camel jockies

Recently reported, Saudis have esablished 7,000 "schools" across the world. IMO, these mosques and schools are a long-term investment is the next Sword of Islam offensive. If Arab OPEC countries face an economic meltdown in part due to their own severe corruption, the well schooled devout sleepers can wreck havoc on western economies. Default on loans by the "royal family" is also a tool or weapon.
Last night I heard that a Saudi royal was caught somewhere in Europe with 2 tons of coke in his "diplomatic pouch". Asymetric warfare is their battle plan.
This world war started 9/11/2001. Non-Islamists should recognize this reality. The American economic miracle challenges the failed theo-fascist societies of Islam. By proxy, Arab states will continue to attack our nation destroying lives to weaken our economy. Ther "Royal Family" foolishly believes that they will survive this war.
