If we chop him off, will it kill it?

#2 Hmmm. Note the name: al-Sudairi - as in the Seven Brothers of the Sudairi clan (Fahd, Sultan, Nayef, Turki, etc). Kingy Abdullah (of the al Shammari clan with no full brothers) is tossing a gesture their way, methinks.

Certainly, this HR position (lol) is nothing more than window dressing. The real fun will begin, assuming SA doesn't dissolve before then, when Abdullah kicks the bucket. The third generation (Bandar, Faisal, etc) is chock-full of Western educated goofs - some of whom seem to be nursing serious inferiority complexes. Doh!

Global Security has some excellent SA clan info.

#4 Will chicks get to drive in Saudi? If so, I wouldn't mind if they arrest them if they drive putting on makeup, talking on cell phone, and swatting at their kids in the back seat all at the same time like they do on I-4 every morning.
