They can up the passage rates for shipping up the Suez in leui of the great asian highway and energy corridor to go through Israel and on to EU.

Saudis will be exporting sunshine soon. It has to go overland and will mean an integrated Africa, Asia, EU E Urope and ME.

Map it all out and see who is co-operating and who isn't along the Silk Rd Energy and transportation corridor.

Sea shipping is old world. It's all about pipes, rail, pavement and high tension wires.

Fresh food, dry goods, water and clean Himalayan hydro, sunshine energy needs to be distributed some how.

It just happens that Iran is far ahead with a big assed nuclear plant ahead of Saudi sunshine and Himalayan hydro.

We'll all die from radiation and CO2 if it isn't done.

Yemen is already on the edge, and Jordon is not as badly off they have more of a secular
state than most the same holds true for Syria. In Syria the BAATH Party is pretty strong.
Not only that Syria will send troops into the street without a second thought Still I would
prefer to see the leadership there stay than see them fight a civil war like Lebanon, and end
up with the Muslim Brotherhood taking over.
Islamic movements will cause a lot of headaches for the rest of the world, unfortunately the
result will be the Big Powers going in. America China Russia and Europe will only put up
with so much democracy if it is not in keeping with maintaining transportation routes and the
normal flow of oil. If there is too much disruption there will be hell to pay.
Democracy is only a good thing if the Islamic movements don't gain a foothold. Oh I know it
is all about freedom and manifest destiny, sure it is. It is all about money and the flow of it
that amounts to a hill of beans.
