As th US is cuddled up to a rather unpleasent apartheid regime that is committing acts of terrorism as we speak. Using bombs to destroy power generation and infrastructure on down trodden civilians. Pure terrorism. Its happening in Gaza.
Yeah, but perfectly alturistic. Our support for the terrorists is not on account of oil - indeed, it is making our long term access to middle east supplies less likely by the day. Imagine if democracy spreads to SA!
That would give not only the SA royal family but all the other corrupt and despotic Arab-Oil leaders the Hershey squirts.
