Of course they do. Last weekend there were two good programs on McLaughlin and Rose discussing this. The nations like this are racing to get a weapon to stay in power for at least 50 more years. Iran now is becoming successful in getting Euro backing for its unpopular regime and I bet the Saudis will do the same thing.
