You confuse morality with foreign policy. If the USA had a morally superior foreign policy we would NOT be allies with Saudi Arabia.

Our foreign policy relationship with Saudi Arabia is not a moral one.

So you have now corrected yourself.

Disagree. Yes, we have pragmatic reasons why we have a close relationship with the Saudis, e.g., oil, trade, military partnership, etc., but there is a moral component. We make our views known on human rights issues and do not sacrifice them on the altar of oil.
