You realize that US-Saudi relations have endured through a dozen US administrations and crimes literally tens of thousands of times greater than the murder of a single journalist, even during recent administrations?
You know... I'm not getting sucked in. This thread is about recent legislative activity re abortion, and that's what I'm here to discuss.
If you want to discuss US foreign policy as it relates to Saudi Arabia, I strongly recommend you create a thread on it. Do some research on what the house of Saud has and hasn't done over the past sixty years, and what Uncle Sam has overlooked out of political self-interest. If Mr. Kashoggi's murder concerns you, I guarantee you the research will turn your hair white.
I recently started a thread on the Asian politics board about the worsening depravity and despotism in China. That could use some fresh blood. Feel free to stop by there too.
The reality of life is that evil exists and generally speaking evil normally makes its way to the top in the form of leadership of a nation as having power and the opportunity to get rich is a magnet for them. In addition, the world population continues to grow, meaning more evil people and more opportunities for those in power.
The only way this will end is with a world-wide catastrophe that kills 90% of the population and those that are left will have to "work together" for the benefit and life of all and not just of one.
Talking about it does not offer much in the way of a solution as words (bringing it to attention) are not as powerful as they once were. At this time, the only efforts that can accomplish something is in electing someone that by nature of being the President of the most powerful nation in the world can be heard above millions. If someone like Lincoln, Jefferson, Churchill, Roosevelt or Kennedy is found and is elected, then maybe things may change. Otherwise, God will have the final word.
