#2  Saudi Arabia should be pushing for an enlargement of Iraq. If you added Syria to the mix the Iraqi Shia wouldn't have such dominant numbers. Perhaps the Israeli/American alliance could arrange such a thing if the Saudi's dropped the price of oil back beneath $20 a barrel. Otherwise they can suck sand.

#1  This would be nice:
The remark about the Saudi opposition to the partition of Iraq likewise evoked irate reactions in the Saudi press, especially in light of the bitterness still felt over a previous speech by Al-Shar', on August 14, 2007, in which he stated that Saudi Arabia was "almost completely paralyzed [and unable to fulfill] this important role [in the Gulf]." [2] Particularly harsh statements came from the editor of the Saudi daily Al-Watan, Jamal Khashoggi, who implied that Saudi Arabia might take steps to "accelerate the wheels of history" and hasten the collapse of the Syrian regime.
