Revolutions within the Arab world in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya have presented a number of challenges to those who formulate American foreign policy. For the past 40 to 50 years America has generally supported dictators and autocrats within the region in the belief that it was in America's best security interests to do so. Realpolitik doctrine ruled over America's desire to promote freedom and democracy.

Revolution in Saudi Arabia Would be Game Changer for U.S.

Now as young voices in Arab nations generally cry in unison for freedom and democracy America seems forced to abandon old friends and allies and attempt to form new alliances with emerging Arab leaders. However, as difficult as the new political landscape in the Arab world has been to navigate thus far, a revolution in Saudi Arabia would be truly challenging for the U.S.

United States policymakers are having enough trouble deciding how to best handle Muammar Qaddafi's Libya. The hope that Qaddafi will stand down seems to be misplaced. While the U.S. makes frequent statements deploring the violence that Qaddafi has unleashed upon Libyan citizens it still seems to be quite reluctant to get involved in direct military intervention. What a challenge for the U.S. government. Yet that challenge pales compared to the challenge it will face given revolutionary driven turmoil and chaos in Saudi Arabia.
