The Saudis are our friends, but they're just not very trustworthy ones. The ruling family has helped us some in fighting terror; however, Saudi Arabia remains one of the largest funders of terror. This funding usually comes from other prominent families in Saudi Arabia.

If they do get overthrown, several American business interests won't be very happy about it, but the people of Saudi Arabia would likely rule things less strictly than the family of Saud.

The ruling family is also one of the largest supporters of radical, terrorist Inan schools here in the US, along with others of the wealthy Saudis. From all that I can see, they only support us when and where it supports their interests, not ours.
