Education (or lack thereof) is not their problem. OBL was western educated. The problem is their whole damn culture that based on bigotry, laziness, and thievery. They see it as a source of pride that someone else does everything for them and they are just the money. The founder of the kingdom was literally a bandit. He changed the name of the peninsula after his own family. Imagine if Lincoln had changed the name of the US to Lincolnia after the civil war. ALL Saudi relationships with other groups are based on money. A Lebanese once told me that Saudis always try to buy you off and if they can't buy you, they don't trust you. Edit - While we are at it, consider the case of Lebanon PM being kidnapped by the prince bonesaw. This guy now has unlimited money and lots of power. I am a non-interventionist. But if I were to intervene anywhere, it would be to put him down before he manages to ruin the world for everyone. Mark my words. We will regret that he exists.

Japan was a civilization. They valued knowledge and had a strict code of ethics. They were building aircraft carriers before WWII. So the situation is not comparable. Not that they didn't (or still don't) have a lot of social issues. But they were very different and I don't think a parallel holds. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is not a nation. Nor is it really a country in its truest sense. All the Saudi oil is in the lands they occupied from the Shia tribes which they brutally opress. Again, I am a non-interventionist, but if I were to concoct a strategy for that part of the world, instead of attacking Iraq I would have freed the Saudi Shias and given them their independence. That would stop the wahhabis/salafists and at the same time would have provided a Shia alternative to Iran. Two birds, one stone.
