Before Saddam, who came to power hanging perhaps corrupt politicians, most oil income went not to Iraq, but to England, Saddam Hussein brought the oil income back to Iraq and let people go to schooling and did things for Iraq but eventually oil income depleted and he needed more income.

One cannot compare the situation in the Middle East with that of Eastern Europe. Russia is still, believe or not, a first class superpower having nuclear weapons. Therefore, avoing a direct US/NATO engagement is the only way to prevent a huger conflict, so it is in this world.
Saudi Arabia would have been pulverized under Sadam and his army, if not for the NATO coalition. Yet recently when we, the US, tried to get them to invest money into something having to do with security for our domestic infrastructure I think? I’m not sure, but we tried to get them to invest in something aligned with our well being, and they said it just wasn’t something that “benefited them at all really so they’d have to refuse to invest in the US interest.” Ok, cool, that’s fine.
