In the worlds of commerce and official relations Saudi Arabia is typically portrayed as responsible, virtuous and stable. Thus the former British prime minister John Major could depict the Kingdom as `a vital force for stability'; Sir Patrick Cormack, Conservative Member of Parliament and President, International Affairs, of First Magazine, can applaud Saudi Arabia's `enlightened leadership';1 Sir Alan Munro, former British ambassador to Saudi Arabia, can celebrate the `warmth' of British-Saudi relations;2 and Prince Charles can offer such blandishments to the House of Saud that a welcoming speech to the British feudalist can represent the United Kingdom as `a brother country'.3
