This is an excellent article.
Ah, our dear friends again. If it weren’t for their massive oil reserves, the Saudis would just be a bunch of sand rats stuck in the stone age. Instead they’re filthy rich and actually have an influence on world politics. Y’know, maybe we should’ve let Saddam have them and then bombed him—kill two birds with one stone.
The Pope doesn’t have an army any longer and the Buddhists don’t fight anyone.
Perhaps the best solution is to just take all American influence and knowledge out of Saudi Arabia and see how long the Royal family survives. With respect to the absurd price of oil, just tie it to commodity prices, for example, one bushel of corn for one barrel of oil.

Aside from that not happening, Saudis wouldn’t miss the USA all that much.
