Why didn't the House of Saud know the Sunnis would be pummeled, first by BushCo with "shock and awe" and then by the Shiite majority? Why didn't they tell Dimson to knock it off b/c this misadventure could lead to WWIII and the eruption of the whole region?
Could the House of Saud have wanted this chaos in Iraq? I don't think so ---but anyone knowing about the sectarian tension in the ME would know that with Saddam gone and a Shiite majority in power to run Iraq, the Sunnis would not like their new status and would strike back. Not to mention, there would be reprisals on both sides with a power vacuum.
