King Abdullah's 'openness' strategy

October 12, 2007

Four leaders of consequence play an enormous role in today's international arena. The presidents of the United States, Russia and China wield tremendous military, political and economic power. The fourth leader is King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who has the potential to bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East due to Saudi Arabia's strategic heft as an energy giant, its heavyweight political status in the Arab world and its critical role in shaping the future of the Muslim world. The king, who enters his third year on the throne, embodies a unique mix of reformist instincts, religious credentials, political credibility and vision for change. In the interest of stability, the United States and Europe must strike a grand strategic bargain with King Abdullah to bring lasting peace to this deeply troubled yet energy-rich region.

lips Malaysia	I think House of Fahd already having a lot of troubles with the citizens of Saudi Arabia. He must be more transparent, not use his money or give freely to help others kill his Muslims brothers and other nation. Its usually the case of I rub your back and you rub mind, in order to survive the political arena. Politics is dirty business actually, there is a facade actually.

I think House of Fahd already having a lot of troubles with the citizens of Saudi Arabia.

He must be more transparent, not use his money or give freely to help others kill his Muslims brothers and other nation.

Its usually the case of I rub your back and you rub mind, in order to survive the political arena.
