Remember the source. The MEE is staffed full of activist journalists. Had President Obama inked this deal they'd be singing it's praises, or at least not so against it.

Yes, this is true to a degree. The old king made a deal with the devil to help him maintain his power and now the monarchy is stuck or they'll face a civil war if they try to undo what they have put in place. They are between a rock and a hard place.
