Chezikeets, much like how different America would have been had JFK not been killed. This world has a history of treating GOOD men very harshly.

King Faisal died because
The most probable reason for the assassination has to do with Prince Faisal wanting revenge for the death of his brother Prince Khalid. Five years earlier, Prince Faisal's brother, Prince Khalid was killed by Saudi security agents as he led a demonstration of religious zealots against a television station in Riyadh.

It is a commonly-held belief in an Arab and Muslim world that Faisal’s oil boycott was the real cause of his assassination.
