Saudi Arabia severs ties with Iran as protests rage - CNN.com
I don't know why you seem surprised. "They are angry folks?" Now you sound like Obama.

When will you people realize that these people will never get along?

Your husband and all the rest jumped on the Boom created by fracking and production of shale oil, but like Booms in the past, you had to realize that a Bust can't be kept at bay.
A stabilized oil price ($60 a barrel) would allow the jobs in the industry to remain and American oil to be viable as well as the cost of fuel at a reasonable price. The game the Saudi's are playing right now will cause the price to see saw from one extreme to another. The industry needs stabilization, what we are experiencing right now is not stable or long term.

And we didn't jump on the recent boom, he's been in oil for longer than that. This isn't our first bust and we prepared ourselves accordingly. However many people did not. I absolutely am thrilled that many families are saving money right now and when oil was insane I did feel bad for those who couldn't even afford to get to work. A stable oil price would be beneficial to everyone involved though.

"Execution of the Shia cleric along with 46 others has drawn condemnation
from governments and human rights groups from all over the world."


It's rather ironic that Saud is the one severing ties, right after they just murdered
47 Shi'ites simply for embracing a version of Islam they do not approve of.
Meanwhile, they call Iran terrorists for doing nothing, while they arm real terrorists
in Syria and bomb Yemen into smithereens. The hypocrisy is eardrum shattering.

Agreed and how. So instead of 2 dollars a gallon, I play 2.50. Big deal. NOT! Still a hell of a LOT cheaper than 4.25 a gallon in 2014.

Relax-it was just a metaphor, as they have been doing damage but not taken this serious of a stance. the oil prices being so low not helping. This will take the eyes off of isis in the mainstream media - hmm--

The Kingdom versus the Religious Radical Clerics. What could be at odds?

Thank Carter for the Middle East problems in great part for getting rid of the secular leader of Iran and replacing that with Radical Islamic Clerics instead. Kind of like the way Obama backed the Arab Spring of Radical Islam and that JV team Isis by backing out of Iraq on a date certain before it was ready.

Lots of stupidity going on and lots of Radical Islam going on.

The Iranian people overthrew the foreign dictator Shah, not Jimmy Carter.
If you want to kill Iranians to impose an American puppet to bleed them dry,
then go over there and try doing it yourself, big guy.

They are all part of the Arab league. As such no matter which side, none of them will fight with Israel at its side.
