A Tipping Point?

An interesting article from Salon a few days ago gives an update on the effects the fighting in Iraq is having in Saudi Arabia:

Here's one item of that probably isn't playing well with the White House in the wake of the Administration's rhetoric of late:

"Differences over Iraq could also worsen U.S.-Saudi relations. Already Saudi Arabia has held talks with Iranian officials regarding coordination in Iraq at a time when the Bush administration was pressing to isolate the regime in Tehran"

Looks like the Saudi's are working a serious high wire act trying to keep their own ethnic issues from burning down the house. Too bad the place looks about as stable as a house of cards in a wind storm...
