I can’t understand why we’re helping our enemies, the Saudis. Because of them, many innocent Americans have died.
Before 9/11, we helped our Saudi enemies because we believed they were our only real Arab allies. We also believed that they had plenty of oil. In previous decades, Saudi Arabia and Iran were the twin pillars of American influence in the Middle East.
Now Iran and the KSA are the twin pillars of terrorism in the Middle East. Now we know that the Saudis didn’t have as much oil as they claimed to have. We know that Saudi Arabia is the hub of world terrorism, and there is currently a lawsuit against them for their support of al Qaeda and 9/11.
Some people still believe that we need our terror supporting Saudi allies to protect us from the big bad world out there. They’re delusional, or they’re creatures of habit. Unfortunately many of them are fairly influential.
