The question remains: How much evil can be tolerated in the name of expedience? In the case of the Saudis, I believe we’ve reached the proverbial “tipping point.” There are measures, short of armed conflict, that can be brought to bear. It’s time our political establishment stopped looking the other way.

I’m all for that but the problem is that our political establishment will not stop looking the other way. Think of how long this has been going on. The same thing is going on with China and has been for quite a while albeit under different circumstances.

It won’t end until there is a substantial change in the mind-set of this country and, barring a rather cataclysmic event, I don’t see this happening. I hate to say it, but that’s how I see it.

The only fly in the ointment, so to speak, would be for the occupant of the Oval Office to actually have a spine and spit in the face of “popular” polling and big-media influence and do what’s right for our country (first) and our allies (second) and perhaps the rest of the world would finally get a clue.

Rant mode off. Gotta get to a conference call. Keep fighting the good fight.
