I've Been Thinking:

Saudi Arabia and Iran are engaging in a diplomatic dance.
If the United States does not pay careful attention to these goings-on in the Middle East US interests might be totally subverted.

The Saudi King just invited Iranian President Ahmadinejad for a visit.
Ahmadinejad is invited to attend the Haj, the Pilgrimage, later this month.
During the Haj Muslims world over journey to Mecca to visit the Kabbah, the big black rock.
This is the very first time any Iranian president has been invited to participate in the Haj.

This invitation was not a spontaneous, generous act.
Saudis and Iranians are bitter enemies and arch rivals.
Saudis and Iranians observe completely different forms of Islam.
The Saudis really do not want Iran to become nuclear.
The Annapolis conference was an attempt to unify the Muslims against Iran.
And now Saudi Arabia is reaching out to Iran.

What is going on here?
The Saudis are trying to protect themselves against the ire of Iran.
