Why is the U.S. sleeping with Saudi Arabia?
Can someone please explain to me why we are close allies and provide military protection to a country that:
is not a democracy, but a corrupt and repressive monarchy, is an effective theocracy, is the last country in the world to deny women the right to vote, embargoed oil from us in the past, funds terrorism, and seems not to have the slightest interest in our interests? Apparently, the fact that we put bases there, and they let us, is what Al Qaeda is so ****** off about. Why would we want a permanent military base in a country we can't trust? If the answer is that we're dependent on them for oil, then duh, how about we get less dependent?  Is it just that President Bush has a man-crush on Prince Bandar?

Friend Autodidact,
Which country in the world is the biggest investor in US economy? You might have an answere. The Arabs own more of US then US owns in the Arab world. No reason they call it PETRO-DOLLORS / BLACK- GOLD. Love & rgds

The Saudis are an important ally, and will be even more so should more Republicans want to get richer on extended wars in the Middle East.
