You don't call supporting dictators for pragmatic Cold War reasons different than supporting those living under dictators for pragmatic post Cold War reasons?

Other than Israel, what democracies are supporting us? We recently sh!t in Blair's hat, so I wouldn't count on Britain in the future. BTW, Europe is on fire with indignation, and Israel is jubilant. What does that tell you?

Meantime we're in bed with the Saudis and Pakistan for the foreseeable future.

This is the most frightening, out of touch with reality speech I've heard in over sixty years. If Bush had a brain, I'd call him mad.
