Plausible deniability?
1.
Saudi Arabia has probability of zero with respect to
credibility. They murder something like 47 people a day or a week or a month, for various charges. That is their nation, their laws, and
their business.
If you didn't know that, why are you complaining now about what they have been doing...and yes the World has known that?
But now a
journalist has disappeared, probably murdered.
2. That journalist was an
Arabian citizen, a man who befriended
Osama bin laden no less.
Why aren't you complaining here about Arabia's miserable heinous treatment of other citizens for years?
Yes the American Government has known about Arabia's savagery for decades, as has
every other country in the world.
3. The
Arabian journalist was supposedly killed, assassinated if you wish, by Arabians.
The
"dirty deed" was done on
Arabian soil.
(Technically, the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Turkey is theoretically under Arabia. I hope that you understand that.)
4. If a murder tonight against a foreign ambassador takes place in Chicago,
or Las Vegas, should that country call for sanctions against the United States?
My Opinion:
Arabia is what it is.
I wouldn't live there. I don't agree with their values.
But it's their country and if their citizens don't like how their Government behaves that is their business to do something about it.
Not Ireland's, not Rwanda's, not Sweden's, not the U.S.A.'s and certainly not your's or mine even if we think that it is egregious.
