I don’t see it. Iran is still evil as is Turkey. I don’t care if their people get whacked by Saudis who are also evil. I know this guy was a WaPo contributor, but so what? The WaPo is not worth us getting into any dispute with another country. It seems to me like a good thing for us to stay totally out of. Let the Turks and Saudis work this mess out.
I think the deeper truth than “tribal loyalties”, the moral truth, is that Saudi Arabia is a totalitarian society that the USA and other countries are dependent on for $$$$ because we have spent money we don’t have and are massively in debt.
I don’t really promote the WAPO but do you really think WAPO contributors should be taken out Mafia style and chopped into little pieces.
