It does this (and has done this for many decades now) in order to keep the oil flowing.&lt;p&gt;In other words, it props up an illegitimate dictatorial family, and in turn they keep the oil flowing at a fairly stable and cheap price.&lt;p&gt;And now you wonder why young Sauds who are oppressed by this situation hate the United States? The people&apos;s oil is taken out of the ground by an illegitimate government propped up by the people who buy the oil at what they perceive to be below the fair price.&lt;p&gt;Make no mistake, the source of the problem is the United States.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mtgx</author><text>&quot;Women under male custody&quot;. Wow. I hadn&apos;t realized Saudi Arabia is so primitive. If the US Government is going to send them billions in aid (to buy weapons from US companies, and therefor indirectly subsidize them), can&apos;t it influence some of these decisions? Or does it prefer it when it&apos;s run by dictators?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Saudi Arabia implements electronic tracking system for women</title><url>http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/22/saudi-arabia-implements-electronic-tracking-system-for-women/</url></story>
