To be replaced by whom? An oil company executive like Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan? Or by a bank embezzler like Ahmad Chalabi in Iraq? What guarantee is there that he will not be replaced by a corrupt puppet or another dictator?

Like I said before, I don't see our western power doing ANYTHING to change Saudi Arabia. According to the opposition inBahrain 250 have been detained and 44 are missing following the protests there:

"Earlier this month, Bahrain's Sunni rulers, the al-Khalifa family, imposed martial law and called in troops from fellow Sunni-ruled Gulf neighbors, including top oil exporter Saudi Arabia, to quell weeks of unrest during pro-democracy protest led by mostly Shi'ite demonstrators."

Will they bomb that country too? I doubt it because they sell cheap oil the way our western empires want. That is the only difference. It is all about oil. Anything else is nothing but empty ideological excuses. Democracy counts only when it gives western monopolies a business advantage.

Joe Biden comes and urges the Bahrain monarchy to hold talks with the opposition.

So the world's hypocrites say "lets hold talks in Bahrain, and let's bomb Lybia". Nice double standard.
