I will say this, that when those folks run out of oil money they will either have to be fed and watered by outsiders or most of them will die.

They have that one all figured out. "We will just go to the desert" is the response we always got from Saudis when we asked about what they would do when the oil runs out.

This reply reminds me of the hourly employees where I work, who would reply "I'll drive Semi" when asked what they were going to do for a living after the Union drove the company into bankruptcy. I gave up trying to reason with people years ago. As Burke said, people cannot be reasoned out of a belief they were not reasoned into.

What is the population of Saudi? About twenty million? Beduin life might support one percent of that, and urban life maybe three percent more.
