Bit unfair there Racedo, rogue elements within Saudi have certainly funded terrorist actions, particularly Al Qaeda, but the main administration in Saudi have usually played it fairly straight with the western world.

As for democracy please see Egypt, Libya etc. Personal view only but I have lived and worked there and I believe that the Arab world don't want democracy as we in the west know it, just strong, fair leaders, but many of the countries are so tribally divided, (e.g. Libya), even that option seems unlikely.
