A long and detailed analysis of what is going on in Saudi Arabia. It looks like the Prince is either a genius or a fool.

  • Throughout this awesome pattern of things you actually get an A just for effort and hard work. Exactly where you misplaced me was in your details. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more correct right here. Having said that, allow me tell you exactly what did do the job. Your article (parts of it) is definitely very convincing and that is possibly the reason why I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, despite the fact that I can see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am definitely not confident of just how you seem to connect the ideas which in turn make the actual conclusion. For the moment I will subscribe to your issue but trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect the dots better.
