Zionists are so impressed with the House of Saud

"Fourth, no longer valid is the idea that the Saudi gerontocracy lacks the energy and vision to do anything but pay off enemies or count on America for its preservation. To the contrary, the year of "Arab uprisings" -- which has paralleled a year of unusual travails for the Saudi royal family -- has witnessed an unusually bold and assertive Saudi penchant for self-preservation, exemplified by the deployment of Saudi and other Gulf forces in Bahrain. This even led to the enunciation of Riyadh's version of the Monroe Doctrine, i.e., that no neighboring monarchy should be permitted to experiment with, let alone succumb to the allures of, liberal democracy. The Wahhabis of the Nejd, it seems, aren't going down without a fight -- and aren't about to let their royalist neighbors go down either." (thanks Nader)
