while we may quibble over the specifics of those cargo planes, you'd find a lot of people agreeing with your general point - why do we keep doing business with nations that are not true alliesMaybe with all the money we flew over there in the middle of the night in cargo planes. Back when Obama was in office. But who knows? It's always best for fund a country that's been terrorizing us for 50 years. I mean what could possibly go wrong, right? They'd never take people hostage or fund terrorist radical groups or start wars, right? A free country like that treats their women with such great respect and hold them in high regard, right? Funding them to ward off USSR was a great thing to do, right? Funding Iraq to stave off Iran was a good thing, right? That never came back to hurt us, right?
Why do we keep doing this? That's the real question! Why as American citizens do we put up with this?
and to your list of questions, i'd add...
why do the people who flip out about everything regarding iran never have a single thing to say about the much more significant support we give to saudi arabia?
