I find it super fascination that this guy, as a strategic partner, is at the same time:

1) Completely out of his f---ing mind!

2) Indisputably important and in control.

3) Remarkably easy to please.

Now, sure, I could be wrong about any of these -- my sources of information are almost exclusively the US/EU press, which are not free of bias and might hold a globally minority definition of "truth."

But when you consider what's at stake, and which other famous defenders of Human Rights we're in bed with, I honestly can't understand why we (US/EU) are not working more actively with the most transparent one.
