No one talks about getting rid of the Saudi regime...

42. It is almost funny how badly you missed the point...but instructive.

I am not advocating for the overthrow of the Saudi Regime. It simply is not the point of the OP.

The point of the OP is to shed light on the dark relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia.

The point of the OP is to help people to look at issues that are NOT discussed -to focus on what is not said by the MM and not always respond by what is thrown in front of them. In other words, to actively think and question.

When watching CNN, Fox, NBC et al. it is important to ask "Why are we being shown something? Who's purpose does it serve?" and then to ask "What are they NOT discussing and why?"

In your case, you quickly jumped to a conclusion and entirely missed the point.

Furthermore, the fact that you said you would support any military action as long as you view "the people rising up" is laughable. Do you really think that any rebel activity is always "'The People (capital P) rising up"? How could you possibly have the confidence that you could accurately judge when a true people's movement is happening when it is difficult to do so even in retrospect?

In addition, do you mean to day that as long as people are NOT taking military action, it exonerates the government of being an authoritarian swamp that should be overthrown?
