The Wall Street Journal–Lapdog For Multiple Laps
That the Journal would kowtow to the Chinese government is disturbing, and if it did both its veracity and integrity are impugned. However, its stance toward Saudi Arabia’s government abandons even the facade of objectivity.
Wednesday, the Journal published an editorial, “What Will the Arabs Do Now?” that could have been written in Riyadh. There should have been a border around the editorial with the label ADVERTISEMENT. The opening paragraph implores those always reticent Middle Eastern Arab nations to speak up and let their opposition to the Iranian nuclear deal be known. Is there any reasonably well-informed person on the planet who does not know the Arab position on the Iranian deal? For anyone still ignorant, consider the recent Arab snub of President Obama. Subalterns instead of the invited heads of state attended a conference in Washington in which he attempted to explain and defend the preliminary agreement with Iran. Arab feelings are no mystery.

Completely agree with your points regarding the US' mid-east political stupidity.
The best hope is that enough other controllable sources of petroleum can be discovered and developed outside the region before the mideast is made radioactive by politicians and religious leaders hubris and attempts at revenge.
Per a post I made earlier today, there are many sovereign African nations being made insolvent through debt created from nothing by central banks. Perhaps the natural resources stolen there (along with new technology) will be enough to replace what is lost in the mid-east.
