Which murderous thug are we supporting here? Is the real answer "all of them"?
This much we know. The United States basically funded and installed Mubarak after Anwar Sadat was assassinated. We have continually propped up The House of Saud and King Abdullah as well, sending both plenty of arms and "material." Saudi Arabia, of course, provides us with lots of oil. For this we overlook the The House of Saud's horrifying human rights record, especially for women. There is no dispute that the Saudi government is a dictatorial and authoritarian regime, and that fundamental human rights are abused for sport there.
