So, tell it to Obama. He likes to go to Saudi Arabia and bow to the "royals" there.

The question is legit, by the way. I just suspect you don't like the answer.

It's the question I don't like. Here's the only answer you're going to get: constructive engagement. You clowns loved it when St. Ronnie did it.

And it worked.

I though Ronnie just palled around with Saddam.... even providing him with the chemical weapons he used for genocide...which he supported.

Constructive engagement refers to the program of maintaining normal relations with apartheid South Africa and guiding them toward the creation of an inclusive society. This was seen as an alternative to imposing sanctions.

Unlike your man Bush who let the Saudi who brought down the twin towers go free because he's a family friend.

Thank goodness Obama wasn't restrained by family ties.
