To me, it seems Saudi Arabia is playing a long, dangerous gambit to be the undisputed top dog (or last man standing) in a rejiggered pan-Arab world. It all rests--in my mind--on just how well Frankenstein can control his monster.
Is this the first time someone has so transparently played both sides in a bid for power? No. But, I do think this time could prove especially disastrous if things go awry.
I understand the want--even, the need--for a balance to Iran. I`m just not completely convinced that this one is the one with which we really ought to be siding.
A devil...no matter how well you know him...is still hardwired to do devilish things.
