As a leader, he was always candid and had the courage of his convictions, Obama said in a statement. One of those convictions was his steadfast and passionate belief in the importance of the U.S.-Saudi relationship as a force for stability and security in the Middle East and beyond. President George H. W. Bush who sent an American army to Saudi Arabia to help repel Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1990-91, described Abdullah as a wise and reliable ally, helping our nations build on a strategic relationship in a statement. In contrast, radical Sunni Islamist militants who want the kingdoms destruction rejoiced on Twitter and on hardline online forums, with some praying that God make the death of a man they see as a tyrant the beginning of the end for Saudi Arabia. Abdullah pushed cautious changes in the conservative Islamic kingdom including increased womens rights and economic deregulation, but made no moves towards democracy.-NEVERTHELESS HE WAS A SANE PERSON THOUGH NOT FULLY SUPPORTED BY ALL, HOPEFULLY HIS METHOD OF GOVERNANCE WOULD BE FOLLOWED ,, THERE BEING NO BETTER ALTERNATIVE
