This is a situation where the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Saudi's (Sunni's) are who keep the Iranians and much of the Middle East (Shia) under control.
Yes the Saudi's are a repressive regime and treat women like shit, but the alternative is much worse. This reminds me a lot of Iraq and Saddum Hussain. Yes Hussain was a brutal dictator, but he did keep his country under control and the US removing him from power without a workable government to replace him was a huge mistake. That's similar to Saudi Ababia, and the Saudi's do help us in many area's, including National security.
