And your point is? Two murders make it ok? You are OK with this....as long as jobs aint affected??? MMMMMkay.

The point is, governments murdering people is the way it is, and has been...forever. If there is no change in human nature, it will continue to happen.

Murder is legal in Turkey?

I don't know ask them... I'm saying it was not illegal in his home country...so Turkey is pissed, and that has to do with the US, how?

Also it seems he wasn't a green card holder, but had a 3 year visa...

Wait what? Do you realize that about 2 dozen countries around there are just like SA? You think Turkey is some nice place? lol

And when we do it is it OK? I'm trying to not be hypocritical...ya it is all bad...lots of bad # happens in the world everyday, so for some reason we just going to pick this one and say "oh the horrors, sanction SA!!!" We might as well sanction 50% of the world in that case.

Hey I know what, let hit the Prince...that would show them a thing or two...

Don't think that would happen, and so where would he be tried, Turkey? lol

Probably not, with this administration.

But under Sharia law he should be tried. Of course, the king could just pardon him.

This one, last one, last 5, next 5...don't kid yourself...

In Islamic Law, tazir (or ta'zir, Arabic تعزير) refers to punishment for offenses at the discretion of the judge (Qadi) or ruler of the state. It is one of three major types of punishments or sanctions under Sharia Islamic law — hadd, qisas and tazir.

Seems to be completely justified...

I was talking about the US administration offering strong encouragement that he be tried for his alleged involvement.

jrod, pal, take off the blue specs and see the world in technicolor. Read the links. If you dont posess the ability to read, then lemme know, and I will read it to you.

Maybe you should get your head out of your behind and take a look at the real.

Saudi Arabia is a terrorist nation that could careless about human rights. We are allies only because of the oil trade and the own many of our leaders, Trump included.

a reply to: jrod

Wasn't that the premise of my OP? It's a bipatisan issue.

a reply to: lakenheath24

Look pal. I am very moderate but I do not support our relationship with Saudi Arabia.

If Trump had the courage to do something to Saudi Arabia, I might respect the guy.

If Iran or a plethora of other countries pulled of an execution, it would be grounds for war.

Do not forget where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from.

a reply to: jrod

I'm not your pal.

I find SA to be reprehensible, but we are talking billions of dollars, so the Tman is in a tight spot either way. If he cuts them off, he risks oil prices going through the roof, and contractors losing a lot of jobs, possibly even stock market issues. Or he is seen to be in cahoots. It's an unenviable position and I hear nothing here in the UK about the EU doing anything.
