“Could the attack trigger a quick and violent sympathetic public uprising in Saudi Arabia, sending the Saud family on the run and oil prices to $200 or more? In terms of consequences of a less violent nature, what if the Russians and the Chinese, the latter being Syria’s largest trading partner, decided to protest by dumping some of the massive amount of US dollars they hold? I could go on, but won’t. Instead, I’ll leave off by saying that, given the risks vs. the rewards of yet another Western attack on the Middle East, I personally couldn’t be more opposed to it. Hopefully there are enough people in what’s left of the degraded Western democracies who feel the same way.”
