Ironies

It occurred to me that it is a good thing that China is ruled by the Communist Party. Being Communist, they are officially atheistic. This saves us from the irony we fell into by enriching Saudi Arabia by our oil purchases, and then being the target of the hatred of the Salafi form of fundamentalist Islam which Saudi Arabia promotes in the world.

In fact, the irony of that particular bit of energy greediness is on the scale of the Tower of Babel thing, where there was a tremendous reversal of man's fortunes.
