There is only one thing worse than the worse thing you can think of, and that's an absolute monarchy with zero regard for human and political rights.

Good of Thailand to keep open channels to most nations. A non-transaction one also.

Well yes, the Saudi's were, and still are, the prime financers of Al Qaeda. And of the Taliban. But I guess that information is not in the exhibition.

Saudi government does not fund Al Qaeda or the Taliban. Some private individuals from Gulf countries have provided some funding, which by no means makes up the majority of funding in the case of the Taliban. Far more income in the Taliban's case comes from the sale and taxation of opium, mineral extraction etc, and customs tariffs...

Why would the Saudi government fund an organisation like Al Qaeda which openly called for the fall of the House of Saud, and which considers them degenerates.
