I suspect the Saudis would have "tried" in the same way Arafat "tries". "There is no comparison" remark was about the nature of relationship, not characterization of the people. As far as I am concerned, the Saudi individuals have contributed to jihads more than relatively secular Iraq. "What-if" scenarios are just that: speculations.

The Saudis captured and tried the perpetrators of the US base bombing there. Who did Arafat apprehend?
