That is very naive. They have had the money for a long time, so it is easy to take money for granted. The really important issues are religious purity and Muslim credibility (i.e., relevance). Bin Laden is their man.

Your post contains no great wisdom. For years the Saudi royals have been allies to the west. Their primary interest has been money and power. Any wavering we see now is most likely innitiated by pressure from the Wahabi fanatics. You remove this fanatical pressure and the Saudi royals will continue to be allies.
BTW, OBL advocated the overthrowing of the Saudi royals and was exiled from S.A. Your judgement says that this was a royal ruse. My judgement tells me that both the fundamentalists and the global leftest media want the Saudi Royals removed.
