  1. I suspect you’re right, Simon. I just learned there are mass protests going on in Eastern Saudi Arabia that we never hear about. With 30% youth unemployment and a militant Shia minority you can’t really expect otherwise. I’ve been following the boycott on Al Jazeera English and one of the Saudi demands is that Al Jazeera (broadcast out of Doha in Qatar) be shutdown. I totally disagree with Al Jazeera’s coverage on Syria. Yet even though they toe the line on Syria, any kind of press freedom seems to be a total anathema to the House of Saud.
