Simple. It's a matter of supply and demand for our people. We need oil, they have oil. We'll look the other way because you have what we want. Not a great choice ethically but, fortunately, ethics and politics have nothing to do with each other.

This does not make sense, the United States once fought against an absolute monarchy for their INDEPENDENCE. Now, they have developed strange bed buddies with the Saudi monarchy and 3 other absolute monarchies in the oil regions of the Persian Gulf (Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar; UAE is considered a constitutional monarchy with a Sheikh and a Federation National Council headed by a Prime Minister. Where has America gone with its values?

What a great King !!!!

Just to clarify to Amaricans,I konw for sure most amaricans don know much about what happened and/or happenin out said of the U.S .King Abdulaziz is a member of the royal family of Al Saud. They rule Saudi Arabia 250 years before that meeting by union the tribes and bring justic.

Amaricans I BEG you to read the King's letter that sent to Roosevelt during the world war 2 which caused that meeting.

This is where the foundation of terrorism against the west was made.

The Saudi rulers are actually just as corrupt as the USA is, they to dont want an alternative for the massive oil need.

But sometime this century we will be forced to alternatives or we all move backwards.

Fellow americans there is way to end the whabbi-zionist grip on our society. You remember after 9/11 all that talk about hydrogen fuel cells? they are now within easy price range.
