#1  The KSA has their work cut out for them, as the upheaval is as much about the future of Islam, i.e. Sunni-vs-Shia competition for dominance, espec as per lands where Muslims are a Minority; as about State-specific socio-cultural + econ local reforms.

E.G. TRADITIONAL STRONG RULING MONARCHIES VS. LIBERAL POPULAR DEMOCRACY VS. HYBRID.

Unfortunately for the KSA, Iran = Tehran is NOT its only competitor = wannabe out there.
