Not in any obvious way. Iran and Saudi are rivals, not allies, and Persians and Arabs have no love for each other."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.

I guess I don't understand who would arm the Saudis; they certainly don't have the brains or talent to start their own nuke program.Originally posted by Edan

That would be the reason an Arab state like the Saudis would seek nuclear weapons in the likely event of the complete failiure of the EU led negotiations to get Iran to halt it development. What's your point?Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly

They have the money. That buys a lot of brains and talent. The Russians for instance seem perfectly willing to kick start the Iranian nuclear program for money. I'm sure the House of Saud can cut a similar deal.they certainly don't have the brains or talent to start their own nuke program.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

True, but both a nuclear SA and a nuclear Pakistan is more of a concern than either separatelyOriginally posted by Drake Tungsten
But a nuclear Saudi would scare the bejeesus out of me, not because teh House of Saud can't be trusted with nukes, but because the House of Saud can't be relied on to stay in power. And God help us all if the elements who want to dethrone the Saudis get nukes.
A nuclear Saudi Arabia isn't really any more concerning than a nuclear Pakistan is...
Every additional country with nukes is an additional risk.

If the world community really cared that much about the additional risk, we'd be doing something to stop Iran right now. We aren't, so I don't see why I should be so up in arms about other countries following Iran's lead...KH FOR OWNER!

Y'know, I suppose there isn't anything inherently strange about, say, your average man in the street calling a four-star general an idiot. But if it comes down to whose word I would trust more in an argument, odds are, I'd go with the guy with the stars on his shoulder boards over, say, the average man in the street. Especially if all the latter can do to the former is call him an idiot.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
