I think a flight of Saudi capital will have, negative, but only short term consequences economically. It's a small price to pay. To me, any movement towards cleansing ourselves of Saudi economic and political influence is a step in the right direction. If were actually serious about fighting terrorism then we are going to have to dismantle our interdependence with a culture that has done so much to spread the extreme wahhabist form of islam that has done so much to fuel it.
