Please, all, let's not get political and get this thread shut down. It's an interesting "what would you do?" type scenario that many of us could potentially face that has nothing to do with politics.
I can't see where my point would be political, unless somebody was pretty defensive about standing on shaky ground.

We in North America, even Europe, don’t understand the way things work in the Middle East. You can change nationalities there like we change underwear here.
For years it was the dirty little secret, if you want to put on a cloak of anonymity in the Middle East and cease to be a citizen of (insert country of ill-repute here) and travel freely all you had to do go to Saudi Arabia and get citizenship there.
Voila, you are now welcomed in places you would have formerly been scrutinized if not rejected in.
I confess, I did not know that about the Middle East. But, with my limited knowledge of recent history, I would think changing to SA should make it harder to get a visa, not easier.
