How about spending the 50bn to diversify their economy in a country where per capita income has declined in the last 20 years. How about extending basic human rights to women who are over 50% of their population. It is really a tragedy for the world that these backward hillbillies by chance ended up sitting on top of the worlds largest oil deposit. Much of the chaos in the Arab world is because of the ignorant Saudis using their oil money to spread their backward and perverted interpretation of Islam across the Muslim world. A much more educated and enlightened interpretation of Islam was held by most of the Arab world before the Saudis began to spread their hate and ignorance.
