#3 Saudi grand mufti's call to "destroy all the churches" in the Gulf region,

Apart from the oil why are we friends with the most intolerant nation in the world?

Because it affords you and a few others the opportunity to incessantly post rhetorical commentary?

#6 An old question, Pappy. I remember as a kid seeing a newspaper photo of protesters waving signs at Eisenhower, saying "Don't sell me to Saud, Ike". A reference to the fact they still acknowledged slavery at the time (as opposed to the unacknowledged slavery they still practice with their "servants". Given such a long-standing distaste for things Saudian, there can be only one reason they're still so favored by DC.... their cute little curly-toed slippers, no doubt.

I think that anyone who reads Rantburg knows why there's still a relationship with the Sauds.

Unfortunately we have this problem where, anyone with half a mind to post here (and unfortunately there's far too many) seems to think that everyone but them is clueless and it is their sacred duty to point that out why there's "only one reason they're still so favored by DC" ad absurdium.

It's the same I-am-the-only-one-with-The-Answer mindset was the "Wake Up America" crowd (which we get all far too often).
