Sectarian unrest in Saudi Arabia. + Having trouble figuring out who Christian Koch is.

Christian Koch is quoted in this article:

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=241016

“The king has tried on several fronts to address these grievances, to redirect them away from a purely sectarian dimension,” Christian Koch, director of research at the Gulf Studies Center, told The Media Line. “But there is some resistance in more conservative sectors of the kingdom, which prevents quick progress from being made.”

Have not found a link between him and the Koch brothers. Does anyone here know about this?

3. Yes, I saw that, but didn't see any reference to whether he's related to the Koch brothers.

It seems pretty probable that he is related somehow; I just want some validation of exactly how.

2. I seem to remember Bush's sister Doro married a man named Koch. Possible spawn or

other relation?

4. Going out to canvass for the Occupation. Will have to follow that lead later. Tks! nt
