But thats just my view.

He says the feeling in the country, the small protests, etc. are just how it started in Iran, and primarily for the same reasons.
As for the alternate energy, that too is an interesting question. When my husband joined Amoco (which has now been swallowed up by BP-damned Brits) in 1989, he was Amoco's coal gasification expert at the Naperville Research Center. Things went along really well until the shit hit the fan and the U.S. government decided to quit funding coal research. Why? Well, who was it that took over the Oval Office in January 1989? That's right...Georgie Sr. When Texas oil moved into the White House, it didn't take more than a few months before coal research went out the window. There was talk and some reasearch done on alternate synfuels, but again, the research funds just weren't there for long. And now looking down the barrel of another 3.5 years of Jr.....well, I'd say we're pretty much screwed. He is, however, more than willing to disregard supposedly protected nature preserves to drill for more oil in Alaska! What a guy!
Just my 2 cents worth.
Oh, and how you doing, you Sexy Beast (JD)?

Jeddah isnt half as bad as Elsewhere, but the feeling of being hated by the majority, and a wardens notice the other day makes you constantly feel on edge.
Like I said before, I am VERY confident it will kick off here soon!, and once they kick off i cant see it stopping. Once the birthplace of Islam kicks off, it will cause tremors throughout the region.
And im sure the west will get blamed for exploiting Saudi oil.
