#1 And the difference would be, what, exactly?

1. the caliphate would remove all defense cooperation with the US.
2. The Caliphate would, presumably, expel all Christians from the Kingdom (how theyd run the oil industry, I dont know)
3. The Caliphate would overtly support the overthrow of every other current govt in the muslim world (with the possible exceptions of Sudan and Iran, and Yemen once that country is brought to heel)
4. The Caliphate would replace the current policy of oppresion of Saudi Shiites with one of forced conversion to Sunni Islam.

#2 I suspect step 4 would lead to a pretty short-lived reign. Would they really try to pull that off, and could they?

#3 naw--they would expel the mushrikhun shia grave worshippers of the eastern province to their iranian ideological homeland-or maybe to iraq--requires linear thinking so i wouldn't hold my breathe
