    Default Saudi Arabia Counters Muslim Extremism

    Link

    I found the "Imam recall" interesting. I wonder what the implications will be on a wider scale? Saudi Arabia is certainly capable of exerting it's influence to other nations.

    Good news for us, but it will probably just inflame anti-government sentiment there.
    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).

    The Saudi's have shown themselves capable of staying in power, however, so will that really be a problem?

    Don't trust 'em, 'nuf said.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Perhaps. I would venture to guess it depends on how much US backed support they receive.

    What do you mean by support? Saudi Arabia is hardly strapped for cash.
