King Fahad was a puppet. He didn't support education. He spread the wealth only on buying the loyalty of Royal Family members and he followed US dictat like a dog.
I still remember tha parties people had celebrating his death. King Abdullah is the antagonist of Fahad. Just compare KSA in Fahad's era and in Andullah's era.
Yes he was resilient regarding corruption. But he was no puppet, there are a number of situations in which he defied America. His era was the toughest ever economically, and that's why growth rate slowed down. I believe the only puppet was king Saud, he was a drunk lunatic.
