>Do they? They rely on us to protect them against external invasion.

By whom? They made peace with Iraq at the Arab summit a couple of weeks ago.

>Also if they cut off the oil it would hurt them more then it would hurt us.

It would hurt the average person, but the people in charge have such ridiculous amounts of money that they wouldn't feel a thing. The people on the street in the Arab countries tend to ignore any oppression placed on them by their own leaders and place the blame on the West. Case in point- Other than these military incursions (brought on by the terrorist attacks), Israel treats the Palestinians better than most of the Arab countries do- yet they rarely think about that.
