You didn't think of that tax thingy, did you? Well, thats what crack might have done to you sweetie. Consumption taxes would solve lots of problems.

Of course I thought of the tax thing and advocate higher taxes on gasoline with the revenues going to finance research into alternative energy sources. It is one of the few taxes I am for.

Oh, and as to your point, aren't they all cousins over there anyway? Sorta like Arkansas?

The royal family is quite inbred. But I am not sure what that has to do with my point. My point is that it would be worse for US interests if there is a successful revolution in Saudi Arabia and the monarchy is deposed and replaced by a radical Wahhabi islamic state. We simply cannot allow that to happen. If the SA army turns on the monarchy, who will have to stop the revolution? And if we don't, what kind of horrific terrorism problem will this world have if the Wahhabi extremists get control of SA oil revenues to finance their terrorism?
Spend a bit of time thinking about how safe you will be if that scenario plays out.
