Stuart Smalley meets the terminator

That's the funniest thing I've read here all day, including the stuff from the onion. You're brilliant.

Yes, but it is more than that. Look at Saudi Arabia, for instance. They have an entrenched dictatorship. But, if the dictatorship leaves, what will take it's place? A far worse system. So, we must have a relationship and support the dictatorship.

The Saudi commoners are mostly educated in the Koran. Everytime there is a demonstration, all you see are these millions of uneducated, unwashed wackos, jumping up and down, burning the US flag, and foaming at the mouth. THAT would be what would take over, if the dictatorship left. There is only one chance in Hell that Saudi Arabia could ever be a democracy, and that one chance is NONE!
