Which is why the rag heads are loosening up the purse strings:




The contrast between Libya and Saudi Arabia on Feb. 23 couldn’t have been more striking.

As loyalists to Col. Muammar Qaddafi fought rebel forces east of Tripoli, oil majors such as Total SA and ENI SpA cut or suspended their Libyan oil production, while the U.S., Britain, and Italy prepared to send ships and planes to evacuate their citizens. On the other side of the Arab world, Saudi

Arabia’s King Abdullah returned from three months of medical treatment abroad, laden with gifts for his subjects: $36 billion worth of new jobless benefits, education and housing subsidies, and debt write-offs. The government even unveiled a new sports channel.

The world is focused on the tragic events unfolding in Libya, which have alarmed U.S. policy makers and spooked markets into bidding oil above $100 a barrel. Yet a non-event -- the unrest that is not occurring in Saudi Arabia -- could prove just as important in determining the future of the region and the world economy, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Feb. 28 issue.

If Saudi Arabia’s people -- including a sizable Shiite Muslim minority -- keep supporting Abdullah’s regime, then the country can bring its vast reserves of oil into play to make up for any production lost in Libya or other crisis-crippled states. If, instead, Shiite unrest spills over from neighboring Bahrain into the Saudi state and puts production at risk, the world will be in a very dangerous place.

‘Better Social Control’

Observers such as Peter Zeeman, of the geopolitical consulting firm Stratfor, are betting that Saudi Arabia will escape the turmoil. “Odds are the Saudis would hold on because they have much better social control in the form of policing powers, and they are better able to insulate the minority group that might like to see a change from events in the outside world,” he says.

It would be unwise to say definitively that Saudi Arabia will emerge unscathed. Yet 86-year-old Abdullah has proven an able ruler. Under Abdullah and his influential oil minister, Ali Ibrahim al-Naimi, the kingdom has expanded its oil production capacity to about 12 million barrels a day; actual production is about 8.4 million barrels a day, according to Bloomberg estimates. The government has a 35,000-man force just to protect key oil and gas installations. “I don’t really see any credible risk to their oil infrastructure,” says Jarmo Kotilaine, chief economist at Jeddah-based National Commercial Bank.

The kingdom is also investing in its citizens, including the Shiite minority in the oil-producing region of the Eastern Province, through generous social programs. Saudi Aramco, the giant state oil company, has made sure to employ a large number of Shiite workers to give them a stake in its success.

Educational Benefits

Ordinary Saudis have started to benefit from King Abdullah’s educational programs. Yasser Abbass, a 28-year-old Shiite, got full tuition and board while studying for a master’s in business administration at a California university. “The government’s program took care of most of my expenses during my studies, including tuition, health coverage, and monthly allowance,” says Abbass, who returned to the kingdom and got a job as an investment banker in Riyadh.

The kingdom’s role as the world’s main oil exporter is more critical than ever as Libya, Africa’s third-largest oil producer, and Algeria, the continent’s fourth, confront popular uprisings. Libya pumps 1.6 million barrels a day, according to data from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and exports mostly to Europe.

How fucking full of shit are you when this is your explanation for people sick of being oppressed. As a firm believer that people should have basic freedoms no matter where you choose to reside, this guy is #1 on my list of people I want to take a shit on then shoot in the nuts. You know, we have planes that could drop a big fat bomb on his ass and let me tell you, there would be cheering throughout the region and in Libya. Oh wait, our President is a HUGE pussy. See grand canyon, it resembles his vag.

the world is insane

Gadhafi is recruiting an army of AIDs-infected monkeys

Fucking right man.

Americans have good intentions but it just seems we try to force our lifestyle on the whole world. We do it because as Americans we think this is the only way to have freedom.

To some people, Freedom might be just living in a tribe and being left the fuck alone by everyone else. They don't need our Christianity or satellite television or our medicines.

Our lifestyle isn't what most of the world wants, I don't think so anyway.

Forcing someone to adopt new beliefs and lifestyles is what causes a lot of problems in the world.
