    What has happened to our values when we support some of the worse offenders of human rights, and then condemn governments such as Syria and Iran when they are the only democracies in the Middle East..

    People usual align themselves with those who have similar values, so have ours changed so drastically, or did we enter WWII as a favor to Britain, because considering our government's present day alliances, it seems we should have been supporting Adolph Hitler rather than fighting him.

    Far worse. And you should know this given the amount of information you have been given in relation to Saud support for terrorist groups.

    From the Atlantic

    Bennet is right. Benjamin Netanyahu is a neocon-Saudi shill. And the neocons want war with Iran.

    I doubt that. Otherwise, Iran would have been invited to the Muslim NATO which was inaugurated by Trump.

    I guess Americans will now be wary of any US presidential candidate who vows to "drain the swamp" and who vows to make "America first." At the end of the day, the priority facing any US president is to keep the Saudis happy and well-stocked with the sinews of terrorism.

    Of course. The Saudis are such angels. Didn't Donald Trump, the presidential candidate, repeatedly vow to bring the Saudis to task. He'd even quote the damning 9/11 report. I guess most American "uber-patriots" would not want their cherished ties with Saudi Arabia to go away...

    Yet they don't give a **** and talk. They are media, it's their JOB to talk. If you do not like it - do not read in and turn on media that will be telling you only things that you like.

    Having problems is not a valid cause to be forbidden to point at other people's problems.

    Nobody's an angel, why bring that to the table when buisness is discussed ? these are the countries in the ME and that's who you make deals with, why prefer one over another if not for buisness intersts when both are about the same ?

    What terrorist acts in the US or Europe or anywhere but Israel (which is a different case) have been done by Iran supported groups ?

    When you are done I will give you the groups that Saud supports.

    I personally like Bennett as he has been consistent unlike the fake nationalists in Jerusalem. Bennett is not without his drawbacks though, I admit.

    I don't the US should get involved. This is their problem.

    The KSA, like Israel, fights ISIL with their lips, not with their hands. And it will be the case until ISIL stops doing these rogue countries' dirty job.

    We are a representative republic which is considered democratic. A country with an unelected supreme leader like Iran is not.

    Some Saudis were involved in 911.. The people and the government were not.. Look at their track record over the past 80 years... The are a stable US ally since the 1940s. and their leadership is committed to the continued progress of the Saudi people.. That's why they INVEST in clean water, education, healthcare, rapid transit, historic preservation, manufacturing, Parks and wild life preserves, jobs..

    Let me rest my case here, for a minute: You country is no more a democracy than Iran or Syria is. Furthermore, you are no world model for democracy: You are a world model for cronyism and plutocracy.

    Wake up and smell the coffee.
