It'll be interesting to see how China plays into this though. As the US is gaining energy independence, China's needs are growing. China's approach definitely seems to be different. They don't have the same political and post-cold war agendas that the US has.

And what do you think happens when the Saudi Regime crumbles? It's going to be better? It's going to be an overboiling pot. A population of barely employable people (as a result of living off a stipend their whole lives) who mostly follow the most extreme version of their religion.
Support for the Saudi regime is not only about oil. We may never have started without it, but it's not the only thing that keeps us there.
