    Default Is Saudi Arabia the next to fall ???

    protests are on the rise in the oil kingdom

    Saudi police open fire during protest

    The rare violence raised concern about a crackdown ahead of planned protests after Friday prayers in different cities throughout the oil-rich kingdom. Violence there could reverberate through the world's markets because of the importance of Saudi oil exports.

    I think most of this is islamist inspired and not democracy advocates. The saud's may eventually go down but they will be replaced by islamists. Expect the gas prices to go through the roof.

    There's a caliphate in the works here with various countries vying for the supreme position.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    That's what I've been saying for a long time. It's extremism or will be by the time the 'freedom fighters' win.

    If Saudi falls, we're going to be in a world of hurt.

    Then we'll all thank all those democrats that prevented domestic oil production efforts.

    Agreed, and some more than others. At least my old "Iron head" gets damn near 50 mpg. Everything in Arkansas is 20 miles or better away.

    Yea, I can hardly wait. I think I already hear oil drilling rigs starting up.
    If ya can't prove it, don't say it.
    Bikes, babes, and beer, it don't get no better than that.
