In yesterdays Times it was stated that - stripping out oil - the Muslim countries contribution to world GDP was less than that of the Nokia phone company.
Something that got my eyebrows waggling. I think it may be distinctly unlucky to strike oil in the long run.
I thought the big picture is that Sept11th and Al Quaeda eminate from Saudi - so Saudi has gotta fall. That can't happen until there is a replacement in the region for the Saudi oil supply. That replacement is Iraq and its nearly ready what with production way up on pre-war levels at this time.
So now we wait until November for Mr Bush to win the election and then Saudi Arabia gets the good news in the form of a US enforced embargo. Within a matter of weeks the edifice of Saudi Royal family crumbles into total civil revolt. In steps Uncle Sam to restore order and in time another Western style democracy.
When Bush finally retires Saudi and Iraq have been made to be democracies and Iran went that way anyway.
Anyone agree that this is the plan?
Cheers
