Saudi unrest...

...something utterly unimaginable just a few years ago. The fact that calls for reform -- protest is illegal in SA -- has gone on as long as it has, 2 years, demonstrates its
growing populous appeal. A part of me says the ruling family's restructuring, if not outright toppling, is inevitable given recent history. But yet the de-stabling of this
centurys old (?) monarchy has ramifications for the US and, in fact, the entire world that far outstrips anything seen in the horrid totality of all the recent Arab springs combined. Damn scary, huh?
