Although that is purely conjecture at this point, it does fit with popular US attitudes toward Saudi Arabia and the general desire of Americans for distance from the Mideast.

The whole article is conjecture. It basically seems to be advocating Saudi princes over American consumers.

We all must remember, since the OPEC oil embargo of 1973 the Saudis have been playing us like a fiddle. The river of money flowing into their coffers has since been used to fund Islamic terrorism around the world.

If we allow it, the market will sort out a good portion of this mess. But if we continue to interfere, Saudi led OPEC dominance of world oil will continue.

Every mosque and madrassa built around the world is done so with Saudi money. The Wall Street Journal documented that fact in June/July 2003. (I used to have a digital copy of the article, unfortunately I don't have it anymore....)
