Frank Herbert really was a genius.
Rabban, Rabban... I place you in charge of Arrakis. It's yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze. Give me spice! Drive them into utter submission. You must not show the slightest pity or mercy... as only you can... Never stop! Go.... Show no mercy!
And when we've crushed these people enough I'll send in you Feyd... they'll cheer you as a rescuer... lovely Feyd... really a lovely boy.

The fremen are obviously the muslims.
Karl Rove or maybe James Baker is the family Mentat.
Great series filled with thinly veiled analogies to the world we live in. Even in 1965 Herbert could see the world's growing addiction to oil.
