Yes the hijackers were of Saudi origin, but until you can make a link between the government and those Saudi citizens I don't see how selling weapons to another nation is problematic (given this particular argument).
The fact of the matter is, the Saudi military needs the arms to keep people like the terrorists from over throwing their monarchy. Without the support of US arms (and this goes back to Roosevelt) the House of Saud would have fallen long ago.
The question is what would replace it?
Better the enemy you know than the one you don't... no?
