[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly do you want the US to do? Go to war with Saudi Arabia? Lose an ally and put the Middle East in a worse position than it is now? Sure, we could sanction them, but is that in the world's best interests? Probably not.[/quote]

How's about a statement to start with? Even if delegated to the SOS or UN rep (who's at the UN now?). On the order of "The United States deeply condemns the murder of Jamal Kashoggi carried out by representatives of Saudi Arabian leadership in a Saudi Arabian consulate. Mr. Kashoggi was a journalist for a US newspaper and the father of US citizens. The United States will continue to review this horrific event to determine its response."

Or, you know, you can go with things like "heck, who knows?" which is akin to "very fine people on both sides"

The irony in your statement is that leaders can never say with full confidence what the long term result of actions will be, as witnessed for well over a century. We aren't even that great at short term results. [/quote]
