Everyone is
flabbergasted because the Saudis just murdered an American citizen. How many times do you have to take a blow to
the head before you realize that the person hitting you is not your friend?
Saudi
business men financially supported Osama bin Laden – himself a Saudi. Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers that
attacked us on 9-11 were Saudis. Saudi Arabia is a fundamentalist religious
nation that allows public beheadings and stoning of unfaithful wives.
The idea
that Saudis uphold our ideals in the Middle East and therefore are our allies is
a Faustian bargain.
I know the
Bushes love them because of the oil connection; but it makes you wonder what
other influences they have cultivated that have allowed the U.S. to look the
other way?

Our government is thinking, "what's one journalists life?" They don't care.
ReplyDeleteIf the Saudis weren't rolling in oil, they'd be persona non grata all over the world.
