| | Along with his reforms, however, Abdullah has coddled Saudi Arabia's Islamic radicals, giving him an anti-American reputation. | | | Abdullah believes that a deal will increase his popularity among a grumbling Saudi population faced with 15 percent unemployment, plunging per capita GDP, and declining oil revenues. | | | Abdullah at least appears to actually want to resolve the conflict, even if his motivation is partly self-interested. |
