I was thinking on the plane yesterday. Can you imagine how better the Arab world would have been if Saudi Arabia did not have oil? Not a single monarchy or sultanate would have survived the Nasserist tide if there was no oil money. Just imagine how more enlightened the region would have been. Wahhabiyyah would have been treated as a small insignificant cult just as we treat Lyndon LRouche here in the US. Dreaming only.
