Only our government has the gall to criticize other nations for human rights abuses, while simultaneously abusing our own citizens and looking the other way when our allies do the same. This situation takes an especially strange turn when it comes to our government's criticism of ISIS, an organization they likely trained and funded. But out of all our frenemies and allies, few are as wicked as Saudi Arabia. Without all of their money and oil, that country would be nothing more than a theocratic version of North Korea. This is a nation that routinely flogs, beats, amputates, and tortures their citizens for offenses such as adultery, drunkenness, and petty theft. Clearly they are a bastion of human of rights, worthy of America's friendship. And while our government gasps and wags their finger at ISIS for beheading journalists and Christians, they have a habit of quietly ignoring Saudi Arabia for doing the same thing to their citizens. For instance, you probably won't hear much from our government after it was revealed that Saudi Arabia placed ad in on their civil service website, that was looking to recruit 8 new executioners. They seem to have placed the ad with all the seriousness and gravity you would expect to find in a used car listing on Craigslist.
