>They don't even have an army, do they? If they do it isn't much of one. Taking on the U.S. would be a one way ticket to oblivion, as they surely know. They seem content with their oil money and an uneasy detente with the U.S.
When Iran nukes Israel (assuming they do it after the Messiah is overthrown), the US will have to get involved. Then it will be highly questionable which way the Saudis will go since they are an Islamic country and Iran will be the new king of the hill.
By that time, Al Queda will probably have the Pakistani nukes as well. Since the US is busy losing the war on terror, I think the Saudis will jump ship since they won't want to back the loser or the infidels. The royal family may be dead or gone as soon as the fur flies.
