Just sell us oil and be done with it - that's the entire transaction that the normal American needs to be concerned with - is there gas for the car?

True and I feel very sorry for his family. But if this was one of us, there wouldn't be such an outrage. Journalists are like cops, they stick together.

And I don't live in those places so why should I care?

Not my problem. What are you going to do, start wars all over the world because you don't like how other people run their countries? Not a good plan.

The US always takes the moral high ground to justify it's actions. If you want to lose the high ground, fine, then people won't listen to you either.

Don't worry, the evidence will eventually emerge. Don't you see the Saudis already changed their stance from the beginning?

We have forfeited our moral high ground with our very biased approach to Israel. We also forfeited it due to butting into everyone elses business. The US always uses the moral high ground for an excuse, that doesn't mean that we actually had it to begin with.

Trump doesn’t care if they killed him or not the U.S sells weapons to Saudi Arabia, and. Apparently coming soon is one of the biggest sales to Saudi Arabia ever.
