The poor in Saudi Arabia - in large part foreign workers brought in to serve the Saudi elites - may well hate the monarchy - but I'd file them under AQ supporters.

I'm just not aware of any native, democratic movements of any importance associated with SA. One can consider the INC as a notable difference in regards to Iraq...

I think the administration's current tack of gradual democratic pressure and the demand of immediate (if not visible) compliance in the WOT is the best choice for both the Saudis and us right now.
