We once sold weapons to Iran to help "protect" us. We gave weapons to the
Taliban. We sell weapons to Pakistan. It's all very stupid when viewed in
the context of history, which our current president seems to know nothing
about.


Lots of things seem "stupid" in the Monday morning quarterbacking of
history. You have to remember that previous policies and actions were
based on the conditions at that time and the inertia of foreign
relationships don't change overnight.

Right now is not Monday morning. Conditions do not warrant selling more
weapons to Saudi Arabia, many of whose citizens are as crazy and ****ed off
as OBL, and are just aching for a shot at the royal family.
