The problem for the saudis is the following:
By design of birth, they are wahhabi, they are sunni, they are arabs, they are rich, they have appointed themselves as the protectors of all sunni arabs against the persian shia and actually against all 'infidels', AND for the sake of surviving against their internal enemies, they have cornered themselves by vowing to play on the OUTSIDE arena what their even more fanatic wahhabi saudi elements, the Ben Laden Scholars, preaches. So, in order for them to survive against a fierce anti-Al saud, anti-western, and much more wahhabi-salafi fanatic internal enemy, they chose to play his same game, but on foreign lands, like in Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria etc... Oussit mouzeyadet: The more fanatic they foreignly play, the more secured domestically, according to their fearful calculations.
I understand the americans dilemma, having to choose between the plague and colera, they opted for colera. The question however is: For how long will both be able to maintain the current equilibrium? |
