That's the way it goes when you are enjoying the status of "inside" buddy to a sitting President !! You get to call the shots (literally) !!!
They do not Want westerners in their country -- yet they want the full reigns of the world in their own hands--- and that 's what they've been given !!
My biggest question about all of this is----- If the Sadaam Hussein "problem" was the "neighborhood bully" deal that it is turning out to look more and more like it was--- and he was the Saudi neighbor ---and far more of a threat to them than us--- why were we the ones fighting THEIR WAR while they sit and literally DO NOTHING--- not even any assistance with the finances involved in this thing ????? Yet, they damned sure know how to pump up the prices at the pump ---- SO, we get the chance to go into record national debt fighting a war that is FAR more in THEIR best interests than ours--- for them-- and then turn around and PAY for that previledge a second time AT THE PUMP !!!!! OUTRAGEOUS !!!!!!!

If you hadn't worked it out yet, thats where Osama bin Laden is hiding out, after all he comes from a wealthy Saudi family. He's not in a cave, the cave is in his garden and he has some lovely views.
The Saudis are rich and control a massive amount of oil so the west has to toady up to them and back down when they get in a huff as evidenced by the recent british fraud investigations which ceased when the Saudis threatened to cancel their contracts with armament firms in UK. Yes we are as guilty as hell with being in bed with the bad guys.
The Saudi leaders are not like Saddam but they rule with a rod of iron, however they have to keep the Mullahas sweet so there are many "opportunities" for terrrorists to blossom.
What have they and other arab countries done to broker peace in the Middle East? Tells a story doesn't it?

They just want to have a good idea of who leaves and enters the country. Sounds rational enough to me.

Because that what they want and its their country and can do so.
As they are one of the richest country's and are constantly spending abroad other countries are pleased to let them visit.
Why do people have to find some deep conspiracy.
