It's always good to value democratic partners. We also value a lot of non-democratic partners. Like banker China. And oil guy the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Tell me again what we will lose if Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank do the Atlantis Event. Aside from the human toll. And the 3 million words a day generated on the subject. And one third of the countries supporting our embargo of Cuba.

My ghost writer.. Most will get educated on the history of the Middle East and America’s increasing entanglement in this troubled region. They will learn about the long list of dictators we installed and/or supported from the Shah to Saddam Hussein to the current dictators of Saudi Arabia. They will ask why we aren’t fighting for democracy in Zimbabwe or Burma? They will discover or recall that, “oh yeah, the Persian Gulf area contains 2/3 of the remaining oil on the planet.” energybulletin.net
