Saudi Arabia is a basackwards theocratic monarchy. That we, the US, considers them an "ally" just shows our stupidity
.....
It always cracks me up when Americans display their ignorance and naivety on the US govt's history of consorting and cooperation with the worst of the world's dictators and war criminals, and that the US itself has never engaged in the very same activities themselves throughout history. Lord, the notion that many of the US leaders they so adore are the most upstanding, righteous, sincere people... Looking honestly at the US's history w.r.t. other nations they frequently vilify, as well as their own people, being friends with the Saudis has never surprised me in the least.

Jumping the gun a bit there. I'm hardly ignorant or naive as to the vermin our government is, and has been, in bed with. So, if you're done self grandeurizing your knowledge of US foreign affairs, remember, "way it is" or not. Doesn't mean I have to like it, and have an opinion of it.
I saw enough, while overseas, to form a fairly informed one. I will acquiesce that it means little, but, sitjatio s such as the one here do tend to bring out hypothetical "If I were king of the world" commentary.
