The trouble is that there is, and it's called radical Islamists.
Saudi Arabia, as I understand it, exists in a bit of tension between the wacko religious nutjobs, and the Royal Family who would rather get blowjobs from fifty Russian hookers at a time. The Royal Family gives the religious nutjobs everything they want, in exchange for being able to stay in power. But if the religious nutjobs decide they've had enough of the royals they can have that fight.
Ultimately the present situation is the lesser of two evils, and that's why we in the west hold our noses and prop it up, because if the Islamists gain proper power over (a) Mecca and (b) the oilfields then we've got a serious problem which will probably oblige another major war.
