Saudi Arabia these days appears to be adopting the doctrine made famous by George W. Bush while drumming up support for the invasion of Iraq: ‘Who is not for us is against us’… with all the menace that contains. Into this admix Riyadh brings a virulent sectarianism as it confronts Iran following the burning of its Embassy in Tehran during protests against the execution of a leading Shiite cleric. And now the Saudi government have announced their intention to sell off Aramco, the national oil company and the most valuable asset the nation possesses, to fund existing and future wars where success is by no means guaranteed.
