    why is the US so easy going with the saudi government, the main sponsor of "intolerant islam", but gives such a hard time to other islamic countries?

    the saudi government gave over 100billion$ in spreading its monopolized version of islam that was not as popular before all the oil and invasions...

    why the double standard?

    Oil I'm sure is a top reason...
    We also appear to like nasty nations as long as they play our type of ball.

    One of the strangest relationships I can't seem to understand.
