In case the relevence escapes anyone, Saudi Arabia is flooding the world with wahabbi propaganda paying billions for the establishment of mosques worldwide, still has one of the easiest US VISA approval processes (it's no coincidence that 15 of the 19 9/11 Hijackers were Saudi nationals), Opposes US efforts to train Shiite and Kurdish military and police forces in Iraq, has one of the worst human rights recods around (rejecting the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights), pays subsidies to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, and would be one of the wealthiest nations in the world if they would use their own funding to improve life in Saudi Arabia itself.
Of course US kowtowing to Saudi Arabia has been around for more than 30 years now, but I had hopes the Government would have pulled their heads out of their collective arses when congress blocked US aid to Saudi Arabia earlier this year (the law was heavily objected to by Bush)
