Yes, conservatives and liberals, republicans and demnocrats, have all allowed business interests to cloud how we deal with the Saudi's human rights abuses, as well as their well documented support for global jihadism. These business interests explain policy by leaders,; they don't explain why liberal rank and file defend human rights abuses in the name of cultural relativism.

I see in the not too distant future an energy exporting America who will make middle eastern oil power a bad memory.
When that day comes, and soon it will, I am hoping a woman president will impose economic sanctions on the Saudis and other conservative islamic societies for the abuse of their women, gays and religious minorities.
