Actually, I would bet the King and such like us because we give them money, and they want more of it. But, the lower classes, they hate us.
It is like if we have a president who likes the Chinese and their money, but the people of the country hate that president, and want to kick out the Chinese...not that anyone would understand that point...
Race I know you're not going to believe this, but in my experience in the Kingdom, and is it is fairly extensive, I very often found the exact opposite to be true. Many of the terrorists are very wealthy, e.g. Osama bin Laden, or the educated sons of wealthy families.
There is a dirty little secret about Saudi Arabia, though. Over the past 35 years or so, the population has skyrocketed from 5 Million or so to over 25 Million. Because of polygamy among cousins, the birth defect rate is staggering. Many congenital eye problems, kidney problems, mental problems. This cuts across all social lines, but the better educated seek wives from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and the West in their attempt to reverse this recognized problem. But it's going to take a long time. Bottom line: a lot of Saudis are cross-eyed, crazy as coots, need dialysis, are filthy rich, and very apt to be involved in terrorist activity.
The lower classes are taught to hate us by their Mullahs, and the Mullahs know that if they allow their people access to western ways, they will lose their power over the people, so they teach the hatred.
