All praise King Abdullah

Why this exceptionalism from the West for the brutal regime in Saudi Arabia? Why this fawning over a bloodthirsty and medieval dictator? Oil. Oil prices. Arms sales. Petrodollars. And despite its support for terrorism the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia is one of the strongest supporters of the US. They have common enemies, like Iran. Saudi Arabia provides ‘stability’ in the region. In other words the dictatorship keeps or helps keep the pro-US status quo. That is why flags are flying at half mast around the world, including here in Australia, for this butcher.
