AS much as I hate Wahabbis, I'm not sure that giving the Arabia oil to Shi'ites is a greate idea. Add this to the proposal to invade Iraq, which could lead to a Shiite government in the south, and Shi'ites would control over 1/2 of the oil pumped today. I have nothing against Shi'ites except for Hizbullah, Amal, and their protector Iran. Anyone else remember this theocratic regional power run by fundamentalist Shi'ites?
It's not like the Iranians are paragons of tolerances. Ask Zoroastrians or Persian Jews.
We need to destroy both Wahabism and Khomeniism before pretending to be the British.
Let's pretend nothing. Let's be Americans and pave over Saudi Arabia. THe Iranians will fall into line; unlike the arabs, the persians are pro-american and wish to join the modern world despite their theological masters.
