[Stop buying any product from those moslem Bastards. Dont need to anymore. Dont get me started on those Saudi Sunni terrorist dogs that killed 3000 Americans on our soil. Dont do it.]

Somebody will. Oil is a fungible product with a single price, adjusted for grade and transportation costs. If oil goes to $200, we will pay $200 for oil, half of it from foreign sources. Even if we were producing all 20m barrels we consume a day instead of the 10m barrels we actually do, $200 oil would inflict great damage on a lot of industrial sectors.

The Saudi government did not do 9/11. Bin Laden used Saudi al Qaeda members because he wanted to have Uncle Sam topple the principal obstacle to his objective of becoming Caliph of a new Islamic empire with a capital in Mecca - the Saudi Royals. The idea was that a US invasion of Saudi Arabia would unite the Muslim world behind him. When that failed, he was out of ideas, because even the paltry resources that he had dried up.

There are rumors that 2 Saudi princes who might have been collaborating with bin Laden ended up dying mysteriously after being recalled. One had a heart attack and another died of thirst in the desert. Again, not surprising. Palace intrigues are a staple of all dynasties. Richard III had his nephews killed. Ottoman caliphs killed all their brothers upon taking the throne. It’s possible the two Saudi princes did in fact help bin Laden, hoping to get a shot at the throne in the chaos of an American invasion.
