I suspect the reprisals on the Saudis will be much more subtle and devastating than any overt military action ever could be. True, we could bomb Riyadh into rubble, nuke Mecca and Medina, and run the House of Saud back into the desert. But with control of Iraq, we may quietly (and single-handedly) undermine OPEC by flooding US markets with lower-priced oil energy, further develop our own energy sources, and break the "Muslim Mafia" that now holds sway throughout the Middle East.

The days of autocratic rule of Arabia by the Saudis are numbered. And they know it.
