[quote=Anonymous]The peculiarity is that Kashoggi was no innocent himself. It's clear to me he's been made into a martyr not because of who he is but because certain parties are (justifiably) upset with Saudi Arabia. I am sorry that the man met his fate the way it happened but from the way some people are speaking you'd have thought he was the second coming of Mother Theresa  :roll: rather than another politically connected Middle Eastern hack who was perhaps a bit two-faced himself.

The Middle East has always been a case of you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. And as awful as the House of Saud may be and they are certainly tyrants, the unfortunate reality is that they are probably much more preferable than any of the realistic alternatives. The idea that there can ever be a "good" government for Saudi that will lead its people to the enlightened land of liberal and progressive milk and honey (organic and fat free for preference) is laughable. So what to do? Oh well.
