The conventional long-form name of Saudi Arabia is "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia". This isn't some thing that Clinton made up, and I'm not sure why it's relevant to mention her. The country is referred to as "The Kingdom" by many. Of course, that doesn't preclude it being a dictatorship, as the two are not mutually exclusive.
Did I just miss an attempt at sarcasm, here?
- finid 10y agoNo, it was not an attempt at sarcasm. That was her response to a dig about why we're not pushing for democracy in Saudi Arabia. It was her way of saying they don't need democracy.
- Crito 10y agoIn light of that, every dictator around the world should declare their kin to be the next in line. (Well not really, since that implies ideological consistency. You'd actually have to be a fool to expect that.)
