There is a gigantic lie on which all Western foreign policies in the Middle East rest: it is the lie that you can preach about democracy, human rights, and progress while being aligned to one of the worst dictatorship in the entire region, certainly one of the most backward regimes in the last two centuries. The Saudi regime is now putting signs around the kingdom that say: "Your psychological stability rests in your loyalty to homeland". Those sons of Saud are quite Orwellian.
(thanks to a brave Saudi woman who sent me this picture).
