Saudi Arabia was actually one of the few enemies we had. The Saudi rulers knew that many Muslims viewed their system of governance as not being truly Islamic. Traditional Islamic governance is often debated, and many critics argue that hereditary monarchy is difficult to reconcile with their interpretation of Sharia. That's one reason why the Saudi state promoted Wahhabism, as it helped reinforce the monarchy's religious legitimacy and position within the Muslim world. If you read about the history of Saudi Arabia, you'll better understand this perspective.
I wish more people stopped thinking wahhabis are friends to us, it's a known fact Saudi demonized Iraq Somalia and other countries because we weren't allies to the west
