Doing Selective Business with Terrorists

Regarding the recent Saudi -Iranian episode, one could not help it to see the obvious similarities between the the two rivals-They are both: Islamics, very rich in Oil, have one of the worst Human Rights records,regard Women as inferiors,caused many of our men and women in Uniforms to be killed,use their resources to promote Terrorism,deeply entrenched on a 7th century ideology ,demanding religious freedoms for Islam ;but never reciprocating at home,and the worst is having monopoly for Sanctity of life only to their adherers ,Etc.etc.etc.

-Now we see that for various illogical reasons ;we tend to place one side on a pedestal with Red Carpet treatment ,while the other side is the Axis of Evil-We even had that reversed when the Shah of Iran was in charge for instance-Until we can stop being Selective in our Business with All Terrorists -The Only criteria will be solely based on which way the Wind is blowing .

Thank You.
