It’s a really sad day when I find myself agreeing with Saudi Arabia over the “wisdom” of the US Government. Ditto for Russia. Sigh....
Down is Up. Bad is Good. We are through the Looking Glass.
I was thinking the same thing myself, although I have earned a whole lot of compassion for the citizens of other rouge countries.
Now I understand that THEY do not always support their dictator. And what does it feel to have zero say in the government that rules your life.
Lesson learned.
We are still blessed, by looking at the plight of the people in ME who have had to flee for their lives or are dead.
But this New Islamic America stinks.
We were warned... it is all in the Bible.

The Saudi Royal Family are pragmatists and businessmen. But they have an unruly “street” that they need to keep in line, preferably by placation.
I’m convinced that a big unspoken reason for the liberation of Iraq was to allow US/Western military forces to be withdrawn from Saudi Arabia, where they were both providing deterrant and containment of Saddam Hussein AND ticking off the Saudi “Street”
The Wahibbists, Islamists and Muslim Brotherhood scare them, and they see a lot of similarities between them and Egypt.
Strange times are these in which we live...
