Surely you understand that countries like Jordan, Kuwait and even Yemen are more moderate than, say, the government of Iran is?
Yemen is a desert sheikdom. The central government doesn't even control the entire country. The present government may favor us, but it hardly represents the opinions of most Yemenis. Ditto for Jordan, except the central government is a powerful dictatorship.
Kuwait likes us because the west buys its oil and its dripping with western cash. At any rate, Kuwait is a tiny state. Again, the government's feekings towards us are not necessarily reflective of those of most of its citizens.
