The Saudi Paradox, by Michael Scott Doran | Foreign Affairs
by noteworthy at 1:26 am EDT, Jun 22, 2004

Saudi Arabia is in the throes of a crisis, but its elite is bitterly divided on how to escape it.

Crown Prince Abdullah leads a camp of liberal reformers seeking rapprochement with the West, while Prince Nayef, the interior minister, sides with an anti-American Wahhabi religious establishment that has much in common with al Qaeda.

Abdullah cuts a higher profile abroad -- but at home Nayef casts a longer and darker shadow.
