The big story today is Elizabeth Warren's DNA test. Nevertheless, much of the media is still focused on the disappearance of a man who used to contribute opinion pieces to the Washington Post. To the media, he's a journalist, although he never worked for a media company. He went into the Saudi embassy in Istanbul and was never seen again. There is an audio tape which supposedly records his murder by Saudi agents, but there are questions of its authenticity. Right now, the left is screaming that America has to punish the Saudis for this "crime". The media is likewise going berserk about this event. They blame the Saudi crown prince, although there is no real reason for that.
So should the USA impose sanctions on the Saudis like the media/Democrat complex wants?
Think of it this way: in the last decade, how many countries around the world killed someone who was in custody? We know that the Russians, the Chinese, the Syrians, the Iranians, the Libyans, the North Koreans and many others fall into this category. Neither the media nor the Democrats have demanded sanctions on these countries as a result. So what makes Saudi Arabia special?
In many Islamic countries, we know that women have been stoned to death for adultery. No one demands sanctions on that basis.
But it gets worse. Whatever happened in that embassy, the USA had nothing to do with it. But the media/Democrat chorus is now blaming the Trump administration for failing to take action regarding this event. We don't even have all the facts, but they are going overboard demanding action.
This is one of those events that bring out the worst in the media/Dem chorus. Maybe they are too focused on Bret Kavanaugh. They told us all that he was guilty until proven innocent. Maybe they think that the Saudis are likewise guilty until proven innocent.
The reality, however, is that the Saudis are our ally. They help us in the fight against the possibility of Iran getting nuclear weapons. They also fight against the possibility of Iran becoming the regional hegemonic power. It's not a happy choice, but it is more important for us to have the Saudi's help than for us to impose our views regarding the treatment of supposed journalists on them.
Look, we don't really know what happened in that embassy. We do know right now that the Saudis are our friends and allies. We should give them the benefit of the doubt at the moment.
