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.
I don’t care if Muslim Brotherhood guys get taken out and cut up. The fact he was also a WaPo contributor is irrelevant. Being a WaPo contributor doesn’t somehow make up for being an islamic terrorist supporter in my view. I don’t have a lot of good to say about Saudis but I don’t see taking out any member of a known islamic terror organization as a bad thing.
