Saudi Arabia walks a thin line. On the one hand they want to be friendly to the united states because hey we have helped them out in the past and we bear them no ill will.
On the other hand they posess the holiest land in the muslim world and therefore are looked upon to support and protect that faith and those people more than any other country.
Unfortunately lots of muslims over there have been led to believe the US is the "great satan" and seeks to eliminate Islam... that's what happens when there's almost no education, no communication and only hearsay and gossip.
So on the one side they risk pissing us off... on the other, they risk betraying their people and their faith.
I bet their government workers must have ulcers like you wouldn't believe.
