And Yes, Saudi Arabia has also experienced some murmerings from it's own people, so it is not all rosy there either, but as any thinking regime knows, change can come a small step at a time, for it is better to give a bit at a time and maintain what one has for the main part, but Saudi Arabia in years to come will change, it is even under pressure now, with all that is happening in the regions. But why the house of Saud, when there is also the house of Rashid and Sultan Qaboos bin Said is a pretty forward thinking character if his country is anything to go by, so, it is not all the Saudis, hope lies elsewhere in the Arab world. And the subject of democracy, who says in the end the countres that are going through with this upheaval are going to become democratic countries, true the west hopes they will, but that is no saying what will become, for if they are left to evolve on their own, they will make their own 'cracy.
