#1 Good! I don't think the Saudis know what a Pandora's box of corruption, demagoguery, and skullduggery they're unleashing, but just maybe a couple decades hence they'll be thankful for that ignorance. They'll have learned firsthand Sir Winston's dictum that "democracy is the worst system - except for all the others", and maybe they'll actually be our friends, the Saudis.

I'm not holding my breath, though.
