Iran is the lesser of two evils. It kidnapped a building full of Americans in 1979. Saudi Arabia has financially enabled the death of thousands of Americans over the past two decades.

Just a thought:

Imagine the progress we could've made had we sided with the Pan-Arab Nationalists instead of Israel in the 1950's-70's.

Ugh.



Even if they'd gone through a nasty "Cultural Revolution" phase, a somewhat less authoritarian, Arab equivalent of the People's Republic of China would be better for the average Middle Easterner compared to their current choices of Sectarian Failed State or Highly Oppressive and Superstitious Rentier Gerontocracy.
