LOL You think Hamas and Iran aren't authoritarian? Explain that. I need a good laugh.

The subject at hand are his comments. He claims we support authoritarian regimes yet we are actively supporting the two youngest democracies in the region and spilled our blood to make them a reality. We didn't for Saudi Arabia to be ruled the way it is. That was their choice. Working with them doesn't mean we support that type of government.

BTW, you can't be a libertarian and a socialist. Either you believe in freedom for the individual or you believe in the individual working for the betterment of the group.

Emphasis on authoritarian regimes that the west supports I don't deny that Iran and Hamas are authoritarian.

RE Saudi Arabia the military is there to protect the Saudi state (as does the vast amounts of weapons we sell them) i think we the U.S has more leverage over its policy then you portray it to have.
