You can only play the cards you're dealt. There are a lot of foreign leaders who are pretty unsavory. It's not like this is an Arab thing. We accepted Ferdinand Marcos as the leader of the Philippines until the Filipinos decided they'd had enough. Calling a foreign leader a terrorist doesn't always have a useful effect.
