I have heard the discussion ad-nausseum. And my analysis does not change. Human nature is simple. Obscenely rich folks like to enjoy the wealth. The lower class of a country of wealthy who got there because they won the oil lottery and thru no merit are fodder for snake oil salesmen.
Saudia Arabia is a place of limited kiss ass opportunity just like every country that is not a democracy. But the legitimacy of of ruling authority rests on spiritual and cultural perceptions as well as wealth and genes. So they survive as best they can. But they also know that if you go to far, you can have a well engineered head removal from home or external forces.

The wealthy don't like it when they have to fly their entire families home from the best place in the world. So to me there selfish personal desires would naturally place them at odds with terrorists. But they are also cowards and can be extorted into secret support. And yes there may be a few chrissypoo aka PiG Vomit hate filled minds that are against everything American. Well you deal with the good, the cowards and find out who the chrissypoo are.

That's leadership.
