Our foreign policy supposedly centers upon;
1.) Spreading democracy
2.) Fighting terrorism
Accordingly, the president has just proposed the biggest arms sale in U.S. history (60 billion worth of jet fighters and helicopters) to Saudi Arabia:
1.) A monarchy with one of the worst human rights records on the planet
2.) The country that supplied 15 of the 19 9/11 conspirators, and that is currently active in spreading terrorist ideology throughout the Middle East
And we wonder why America's credibility around the world is shrinking.
Is there a better case for developing alternative energy sources than our embarrassing dependence on a feudal relic like Saudi Arabia?

Ask the Bush family--they're tighter with the Saudis than anyone (remember Dubya strolling literally hand in hand with one of the Saudi royals?)
Yeah I do recall that and the first worthless bush with a big ol shit eatin grin on his face shaing hands with saddam back in the 80's.
