COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
What can you say about a man who insists his is the
democratic tradition while he vigorously supports a senile absolute monarch in
his murderous ways?
The Saudis are without question killing lots of women and
children in Yemen. It is a young population, so it cannot be otherwise.
Doctors Without Borders has tried to tell the world that the
Saudis have attacked two of their hospital facilities.
Of course, the absolute monarch who runs Saudi Arabia also
plays a major role in the destruction of Syria.
The icing on the cake, as it were, is the king's long series
of beheadings and even some crucifixion. Please, what gang of terrorists is any
worse?
The Saudis are a menace to peace and decency, and David
Cameron loves to play footsie with them.
If it weren't already apparent in everything from his
calling Jeremy Corbyn names to his relationship with Rupert and Rebekah, David
Cameron is a man of no principles, although he loves to prance about and wag his
finger while blubbering about them.
We should all ask why the press in Britain never covers any
of this in a dramatic and revealing way, only typically offering a few
paragraphs on the latest horror.
Last, I must take issue with The Independent's glib characterization of what is happening in
Yemen as "civil war." It's the same band-aid used to cover the truth
of Syria.
