It has been the greatest tragedy of US foreign policy that it has aligned itself against one of the more civilised and tolerant (Jews and Christians practice their religion with a degree of freedom in Iran that is unheard of in Saudi Arabia) nations of the Mid-East, a country whose middle classes are very pro-western and actually elected a reform-minded government, Iran.
Instead the US supports a corrupt, savage, intolerant, cowardly, theocratic sh!thole like Saudi Arabia, a country that loathes the US and everything it stands for.
Saudi Arabia repaid US help in getting Saddam out of Kuwait and protecting its own oil-fields, something the Saudis’ armed forces were incapable of doing, by sending the 9/11 attackers out to attack America.
And yet Iran is treated as the enemy despite never having attacked US interests in three decades and Saudi Arabia the origin of 9/11 and backers of ISIS are “our Saudi friends”.
It truly baffles me.
Iran is your enemy. If you don’t want to agree, that’s fine. It is.
The Saudi government DID NOT send people here to carry out 09/11. Saudis here on Student Visas carried out 09/11, but they weren’t sent here by the government.
We have citizen who fought with ISIS. Did our government send them? No. They acted on their own.

The largest American community outside the US is situated in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia — it is called ARAMCO.
