Don't you want to know the country I was describing? Its Saudi Arabia. You understand that the Saudis and the Taliban practice the same form of Islam.......Whahhabism.......a very strict and punitive form. Humanitarian conditions in SA are in some ways only slightly better than that of Iraq and yet, we are allied with them.

Actually, I knew it was SA immediately, I just missed that part in my reply. Doh.

I would like nothing more than to figure out cold fusion or something and get off their oil. I wouldn't go so far as to call then an Ally though. They are a convenient partner at times, but deep down they are part of the problem too.

Maybe once that fusion thing happens we'll call them out.
