#3 If the Soviets were able to relocate the entire population of Chechnya over into Kazhakstan... and the Arabs tend to be nomadic anyway...

#4 Because the Royals did not want to dirt their hands with the daily grind of running the oil patches, and they needed Saudis that would do the sh*t details in the oil fields. Most Saudis consider manual labor beneath them, the Shias were just glad to get the work.
Besides, who are they going to replace the Shia with, Bedu? Like they are going to sit still and do the nasty jobs the Shia are doing.
