Subject: RE: BS: Terrorists target Western Civilization
The Shah was a ruthless dictator, and so are the Saudi Royal Family. But they were/are our kind of ruthless dictators. Once we bought them, they stayed bought. And that's why we like them. Had Saddam stayed bought (after we bought him), we would probably still like him, too.
