Saudis’ Unprecedented Break with Washington over Egypt

I have certainly blogged about the break up between Saudi Arabia and the US.  With the House of Saud's royal family about to splinter, any pacts and allegiances to provide the US with cheap oil will be null and void.  The threat of lack of security provided by the US isn't as big of a threat to the Saudis these days.

While Israel, Iran, Syria, Egypt et al provide enough geopolitical theater, the fraying relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia may have the biggest impact in the region.  Oil prices, sovereign states, military allegiances, and economic trade will be affected by this all-important alliance.
