That’s probably another good assessment, I wouldn’t disagree with it. I was pretty displeased with Bush the Elder for putting up with the Saudi’s demanding our compliance on those issues. We didn’t have to be there, and we shouldn’t have tolerated the insults for helping them out. But for the oil, we should have left them to their own devices.
But it’s easy to say that years later, from the comfort of our homes.
