Who is mostly hated by its people and is robbing the country of its oil wealth.

What evidence do you have that a significant percentage of Saudis "hate" their government?

Let me see.....lunchtime events where someone loses a finger for cheating on his wife; widespread poverty while the Saudi family lives in opulent luxury; heavy religious oppression; little freedom, etc.

In addition, I have heard such complaints from the few Saudis I know here in the states.

And as long as the Saudi government is the ruling family, they cannot rob the country of its wealth because the country belongs to them....silly.

Why not? Robber barons don't have to be from another country.

Elroy, you are starting to argue for the sake of arguing like in our past exchanges. If that's all you want to do........to denigrate what I have to say because I am saying it, then tell me now. I will end this exchange asap.
