why do Arab states and the Arab League support Saddam and side with him in issues against the West?

All of them don't support Saddam publicly, and even fewer privately. Leaders in the Arab world are well educated and wise.

Why do they continue to portray the West and the United States in particular as evil?

That has been changing, although not as fast as some would like. It can be expected to take awhile before the truth is excepted. Even in America, there are still some that think OJ is did not commit murder.

Why with so many oil $$ at hand are there so many poor Arabs?

IMO, lack of business opportunities because of past western bias against Arabs and Persians.
