So what you're also saying, whether you intend to or not, is that we need to fuel radical Wahhabism and maintain an extremely expensive and perpetual war footing. The zerohedge article goes on to point out how hollow the Saudi threat actually is, because their own currency is pegged to the dollar and also how difficult it would actually be to liquidate on such a scale. Given our own expanded capabilities to produce oil, we no longer need them so much as people think we do.
...what I am saying is what I posted...Saudi Arabia is a critical ally in a region where they are hard to come by and as long as crude oil is needed by the planet they must remain our ally . Your foreboding about being in a perpetual war footing is wasted...we have been at the brink of the next world war ever since the end of the last one and that is never going to change ...ever .
