The question on everybody's lips these days, is why King Abdullah invited president Ahmadinejad, and also what are the expectations from this emergency summit .
I think that if we make a guess on why the Iranian leader accepted, maybe we may have a full picture .
The answers in my opinion, are mainly in prince Bandar recent appointment .
Many commentators saw it, as installing a hard hand man in a key position to quickly solve issues, which on the long run might be detrimental to Saudi Arabia both domestically and in foreign politics related environment .
In my opinion the new chief of the Saudi agency, was precisely chosen for opposite reasons, that is, to try a more effective diplomatic path, that actually the kingdom is not practicing because they were not having the right people in key positions .
And Ahmadinejad knows it, which is why he promptly accepted .
Not that Islamic conferences are problems solving, but they are a chance to meet protagonists in an attempt of mediation .
And actually the Iranian president is not exactly in a favourable position .
When Israel decides to go for a strike, that will be the end for him and his people .
So he most probably wants to see, if at least a compromise on Syria can be found, and that would give him a break for some time .
We'll see what happens .
