And Israel/Palestine are two sides invoking religion to say that their version of sky fairy said this land belongs to them and not the other side. None of that should be our business.
So you support the regime of SA, but based on how they have treated their own people, the leadership isn't worse than what Qaddafi did to Libya or even Saddam in Iraq. So wars and regime change is reserved for only those countries not providing us a military support base and oil?
