Pieter,
thanks for posting. I could see a real emotion and the message from Saudi Arabia's Prince.
As you, Karl, and many of us wrote in the previous posts - Muslim-Arab countries undergo a real change, but this change is quite violent and who knows what would be the final outcome.
You know more than me - but the tensions are not just between different sections of Islam but also between aristocratic versus populistic structures, tension with lack of civil rights for women in the countries where everybody has a cellphone but unemployment is 50%. Saudi Arabia has a crisis with a lack of real constitution and imprisonment of several of their princes.
I wonder what is your predictions about - a year from now in the Middle East?

Pieter An excellent programme of damage control presented by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon. For some time, he has tryed to shift the US 9-11 attact on the Israeli Mossad. For he that protest too much, so goes the guilt. The Saudi Kingdom has problems with problems, for one big problem is their entire source of income is oil revenues and that is drying up with the drastic drop in oil prices. In the stead of diversifying in to other industries such as at least banking, or shipping or what ever to augment their oil industry, they have not. The other problem is both a bothersome one in manner of world opinion and national reputation, is the US Congress oked for lawsuits for compensation to families of the victims of the 9-11 attack from the Saudi Goverment. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/911-victims-families-congress-approves-saudi-arabia-lawsuit-al-qaeda-osama-bin-laden-a7647216.htmlIt would so appear, the Saudis do have a problem with their hands in so many cookie jars and yet feel it is ok.
