King Saud died in 1969.
Aww crap!!! No more weed for me! God, I knew that. There was a very good Frontline special called "Red Sands", that talked about our one-way relationship with Saudi Arabia. As in we know nothing, and the CIA is instructed to know nothing about them. That's a dangerous freaking blindspot. Might have been Frontline. The evening was beer-enhanced.

A lot of the criticism against the US, not all of it undeserved, comes from Saudi Arabia. A lot of the people bringing the criticism against the US are from or are associated with some very wealthy families - think bin Laden. I like the idea of an arab country helping another. They don't like the idea of the US helping an arab country.
