Saudi Arabia's reserves are much greater, and the grade of their crude and accessibility for extraction is unmatched by any producer of crude. I realize that is just one point of many made in your answer, as well. | |

Shift from supporting Saudi Arabia to Iran would be step into unknown with a payoff potentially much lower. I suppose this makes sense -- a case of "better to dance with the devil you know than the devil you don't." Thanks for the insight! | |
