Much of the recent serious coverage of Saudi Arabia - I'm thinking particularly of long think-pieces in the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal - has been in the "at a crossroads" style of journalism.
Venerable commentators pointed to the multiple geo-political challenges facing the kingdom, such as the fall-out from the Arab Spring, the ongoing regional tension over the Iranian nuclear programme, the possible repercussions of the Syrian revolt and perennial questions of the ruling succession.
They concluded the kingdom was at a decisive junction in its 80-year history.
