America and the House of Saud: A floped Alliance

[Jerusalem Post]
Reza Zarabi - -
The billions of U.S. dollars annually spent on Saudi oil seldom reciprocate loyalty, as seen in the fact that roughly 45% of all foreign combatants in the Iraq war theater come solely from Saudi Arabia. For years, many in the West have expressed their outrage at the Wahhabist odium towards religious plurality, the backwards indoctrination of Saudi schoolchildren, the apocalyptic conspiracy theories that are rife in Saudi state-run media, and the profound antipathy that the majority in their religious establishment have towards Western values. For years, successive American administrations have courted Saudi allegiance, yet they have turned a blind eye to the Saudi government’s rampant human rights abuses, support for terrorism, and mass indoctrination of Stalinist ideology upon their public.
