For all his oil riches, Saud's financial position is so bad that world banks ceased several months ago to honor Saudi letters of credit. Educated Saudis almost to a man are disgusted. Said one: "The King is burning up our wealth, wasting, wasting everywhere-palaces, women, bribes. He is destroying our country. It is a crime that cannot...
