The Endless War: Saudi Arabia Goes on the Offensive Against Iran

So wait a minute:  Israel is at war with Iran.  Israel is at war with Syria.  Hell, Israel is at war with everybody in the middle east.  Iran supplies oil to China and Russia, who are considered allies.  But now Russia is making nice with Israel.  The US was at war with Iraq, and now Syria and Iran.  Russia and China are at odds with the US in the battle for natural resources.  Saudi Arabia and the US need each other, but at what price?  And now the Saudis are at war with Iran, too.  The US used to be "allies" with Egypt, but turned against their leader.  The US was also at war with Libya's Gaddafi.  Hell, we were also allies with Hussein of Iraq at one point--in our war against Iran, before turning against him.

I'm confused...except for one thing.  The region will never get sorted out.  They haven't made peace with each other for thousands of years.  With billions of people starving or about to starve due to soaring food prices, they won't all of a sudden start singing Kumbaya.  And if/when they go to war, oil prices will spike, making everything go from bad to worse.
