Also, the Saudi royal family does not want to lose US support, because it is quite possible some type of public uprising or coup will happen there. Therefore this refusal to cut production, is based upon politics not "integrity" on the part of the Saudis. _________________________ "Religions are all alike -- founded upon fables and mythologies" - Thomas Jefferson For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love. - Carl Sagan

Elena enthusiastic member Registered: 07/10/05 Loc: Moscow, Russia	Quote: This is quite significant as Saudi is the largest oil producer in the world. Wrong. The largest oil producer is Russia. Maybe you wanted to say "exporter"? _________________________ "It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong"
