CAIRO -- Saudi police have opened fire at a rally in the kingdom's east in an apparent escalation of efforts to stop planned protests.

If the US were to get involved, Saudi Arabia could shut off the oil. That would be disastrous to the US, so the US will probably not get involved.

Wrong.
US not buying any oil would be disastrous for Saudia Arabia. LOL. To set up all knew contracts and shipping lands for Europe would almost bankrupt their country.
