Sunni versus Shi`ite dictators: a House of Saud theory

This column should be read and even translated.  It exposes the blatantly sectarian kooky standards of Saudi media.  Tariq Humayyid (a propagandist for Prince Salman's sons), editor of the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, writes that Sunni dictators are better than Shi`ite dictators and that Sunni dictators, like Saddam Husayn, are good for Christians.  Kid you not.

PS By the way, this revisionist favorable view of Saddam is now common in the sectarian media of Saudi princes.
