Saudi Arabia is our ally because they sell us oil. I think that's about it.

You know what works when governments move towards Democracy? When there is a stricter government in place prior that isn't a Democracy that help ease that shift. This isn't opinion.
Now take the Saudis. I can easily call them bloody murderers. Even today they teach children in their Madrasas about how Americans are infidels. They breed murderers and hate.
At the same time what would happen if the Saudi Royals were removed? Do you honestly think that extremism would not come to an end?
What they need is to force these bloody rulers to stop inciting hate. They need to push them to granting more liberties - and then after the population has adjusted to these shifts and the extremist elements are liquidated, should they be pressured to take more of a ceremonial role.
