And so it begins...

Security forces are clashing with protesters in the Shitte majority Eastern city of Qatif. Police have fired on protesters in the oil rich Kingdom where all public demonstrations are banned. Calls have gone out for a "Day of Rage" tomorrow after Friday prayers. As far as international oil prices are concerned, Saudi Arabia is THE big one, so if the protests there have any sort of a whiff of destabilizing the established order... Well, as Samuel L. Jackson would say: "hold onto your butts!"
