A more detestable regime than Saudi Arabia could not be found. Arguably the most repressive regime on earth. An absolute monarchy. A Wahhabist theocratic nightmare that arms ISIS. Only North Korea may be worse, and North Korea does not put women in burqas or have any areas where female genital mutilation (FGM) is practiced. It is a close call. At least North Korea does not ban alcohol.
Make no mistake about it: Shi'a Iran, as bad as it is, is nowhere near as oppressive as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). There are churches in Iran, albeit persecuted. There are none in the KSA. Not even a façade of tolerance. If Iran and the Shi'a-led Hezb'allah are the world's chief exporters of terror, it is because they are more competent than Sunnis, not because their tyranny is darker than the KSA's Wahhabism.

“Arguably the most repressive regime on earth.”
Actually, I find that attribute commendable, provided they’re repressing Muslims only. After all, non-Muslims shouldn’t touch foot on their soil. We certainly don’t need human shields in the way of progress.
This author’s never been to Detroit.
It wouldn’t hurt to have Israel pop Saudi Arabia after using the Saudi airspace when they pop Iran. On the way back Israel can make it a 2-fer.
It is always amazing to see the British PM, David Cameron, wearing this pained expression on his face, as he has to again defend his good mates the Saudis.
I hope I live to see the day the spoiled princes and kings of Saudi Arabia and tore from their palaces by the very terrorists that funded them and are dragged into the city square in Riyadh and given a complementary neck-ectomy by the very radicals they have enabled for so many years.
It would make a great cautionary tale for any other regime out there thinking about funding Islamic ideology around the world.
Yes, they repress their citizens, but with Jordan and Egypt, they are the only semi-friends we have in the Arab world.
Saudi Arabia is not a friend. Not even semi. They wish us ill, they want to access our military power, they want to access our political clout to help wahhbist Sunnis dominate islam.
They are nothing like a friend and do nothing for us. It is only one way. And Sunni terror puts Shiite to shame. Its not even close.
The article starts off with a good point, but dissolves into babble quickly.
The most dangerous Muslims are the ones who pretend to be our friends.
The Shah in Iran was the ‘worst’ in his day.
Look at the bunch Carter put in to replace him.
What will King Ganjaweed do?
House of Saud gimp GW Bush disagrees.
The Saudis have bee fiends for a long time..
I think the Shah was more of a Cultural Muslim more than anything.
Saudi Arabia should have “ended” on 9/12
We currently operate out of 5 AF bases there and stage many SF operations out of there. In addition, a drone flown from there was used in September 2011 to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, a US-born cleric who was AQAP’s external operations chief.
Don’t forget how the Bushes practically made love to the Saudis during their times in office.
