> "Our" best ally in the region is an absolutist monarchy running an Islamist totalitarian regime
Reminds me of that Adam Curtis documentary Bitter Lake[1]. I wonder if Oil Countries are the real reason these terrorist keep appearing again and again.
I bet the moment world gets rid of oil, is the day Islamic terrorist stop appearing.
They're not 'the real reason' but it is definitely a contributing reason. The people doing the most to get us out of this mess are working on electric cars.
