Yep. The recent trouble in Saudi Arabia seems to be setting people jittering. Somehow people accept problems in Iraq/Iran etc, but can't cope when 'civilised' Saudi or Jordan becomes dangerous.
I have friends in Saudi who are coming back to the UK. My uncle goes out to Baghdad next month and we're all bricking it for him

I had just secured a job in Rhiyad ( Rhiyahd Al Kargh hospital) when trouble kicked off last time (about 10 years ago), and the company i was working for rang us every couple of hours to update us what was going on.....the day before i was due to fly they told us not to...it was too dangerous and they were flying all their employees back.
Its frightening to think that we could be caught up in all this....

That'd be my view too. It's all so unstable there, and I think Saudi is going to kick off soon - too many young, disaffected (mainly) men making easy targets for dissident groups.
