Lower oil prices from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s? An expansion of 
OPEC pumping today to lower oil prices? And end to Saudi funding of 
Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Brigades? Before that, an end to Saudi funding 
of Abu Nidal and other pleasant people? Saudi cooperation in stopping 
the flow of money to Al-Qaeda? An end to the Saudi bargain with 
Al-Qaeda: we fund you, and you don't attack us? Crown Prince Abdullah 
hugging and kissing Ehud Barak?
