The saudi royal family will allow many new concessions as the handwritting is on the wall to buy time. Not only have they retained a large portion of the royalties the country is deeply in debt. Their paying out 37 billion dollars to the general population only a couple of weeks ago is ominous in itself.

The question begs will the population break up the sweetheart deals that have gone on between the royal family and the oil companies? They will and it is only a matter of time until we wil have to give the nation some semblance of the barrel cost of oil instead of the oil companies and royal family sucking it up.

The royal households greed will probably eventually lead to the saudi population nationalising their oil assets. One cannot blame them.

The twin towers epsiode was an example at the frustation felt as it was an all saudi expatriate deal I think. The attempt to blame it on religious differences or terrorisim was a smokescreen to some extent. Too many participants in the event were far too well educated to swallow any of those theories as I see it..
