Well, there is at least one Saudi that admits the truth. It was the the US that enabled Saudi Arabia to be Saudi Arabia."We must admit that our relations with America were the cornerstone for our development and progress. In return, we must ask what we have gained from our relations with the Arab world. Speaking frankly and unequivocally, all we got from them was trouble. Our brothers, as they call themselves, conspired against us, attacked us and used all the means at their disposal to derail our plans for unity."

It is true the US helped Saudi Arabia to fight and win the Arab Cold War but how did the Saudis repay US?
