We hate Iran. I get that. But Iran supports Assad who’s a secular SOB. In that part of the world, a secular Arab Strongman is about the best you can get. Assad protects the Christians in Syria. If Assad goes, it’s an open season on the Christians in Syria.
Indeed. One of the problems in the Middle East is the alliances make no sense.
Our and Israel’s natural ally is Iran. We have ended up fighting on their side in Iraq and Afghanistan and should be with them in Syria. But we supported the Shah and are thus forced to partner up with Saudi Arabia. The country that is the most responsible for 9/11.
