On the news tonight there will be more coverage of the election controversy in Iran. The media will be hyping up some sort of action against Iran. We'll be the 'defenders of democracy' against the tyrants of Iran.
To this, only one question comes to mind: What about Saudi Arabia? The people have NO RIGHT TO EVEN VOTE there. Women aren't to be seen in public without a man, and women showing ANY skin are treated very badly.
Then comes the argument, "But the Saudis aren't threatening the USA."
WHAT!?
Where do you think the terrorist hijackers on 9/11 came from? They came from SAUDI ARABIA!
Why aren't we irritated with how the Saudis mistreat their people, not even allowing them a real say in government, AT ALL. Why aren't media outlets speaking out against them? Heck, we're selling the Saudis all our assets. General Electric sold off it's most profitable segment, the Plastics division, from which came both Jack Welch and GE's current CEO, Jeff Immelt. It was the most innovative and dependable division of GE, training the company's leaders. Now it belongs to the Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corporation, a business in which you and I can't even invest, because you have to be Saudi to buy stock!
Our nation's leaders, Obama included, are too close to the Saudis to EVER turn on them militarily. Not that we should. Nor should we get involved with Iran. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founders warned against ever getting involved in the affairs of other nations. It's entangling, costs our nation too many lives and too much of it's treasury. It also puts us at risk for what the CIA today refers to as 'blowback'. Yet our leaders, in search of more wealth and power, are anxious to bend over backwards to please these tyrants, and far too anxious to attack the ones they see as profitable without regard for their own nation's future.
