After Fahd

It will prove fascinating to see the angling for succession in Saudi Arabia after the death of King Fahd. The generations now in their twenties and thirties will see the commencement of the depletion of the vast Saudi oil reserves. This reality combined witht the volitle politics created by the Saudi backing of International terrorism should provoke some keen succession battles. See this from the PROSPECT. http://prospectmagazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=7031
