Saudi Arabia, that ally which we are ashamed

For a long time the West trade with Saudi Arabia holding their noses.
Saudi Arabia in a headlong rush
TheSaudi Arabia has decided to knowingly cause a major regional power. It was on January 2, when she announced that forty-seven men were executed in the context of countering terrorism. Forty-three of them were part of the Sunni jihadist movement - including a theorist of Al Qaeda - and four were Shiites, including a revered cleric in eastern Saudi Arabia. This last run is the event which founded the extreme tension that now prevails in the Middle East, a region that had no need of this hatred additive.

Saudi Arabia's allies are struggling in a deep embarrassment. That's an ally that we would be okay, do you think in the chancelleries.Where there is also the same time knows that one does not pass.Money rules the world, determines behavior, is not it?
How do you say ? Oh yes ! Business is business. Money has no smell. Something like that. For the Saudis are so rich, and good diet paranoid, they love so much arms. One can also argue that in fact if we do not our weapons were selling them, others would undertake in without qualms. Or, in the words of Paul Magnette Bel-RTL onMonday, explaining that "Wallonia is a small seller in relation to France." Four hundred million of Walloon licensed arms in 2014, right even. As the minister said President Walloon, "behind, there are thousands of jobs".
For a long time the West trade with Saudi Arabia holding their noses. In this country, decapitated one sword in a public place, it whips the other in the same place, women are minor for life and can not drive. Some believe they are financing the jihadists, they say they are not suicidal, but their conception of Islam they export Wahhabism, anyway is the incarnation of the most repulsive rigor. In addition to all these reproaches, our "friends" Saudis now add a real talent to put oil on the fire in the confessional already high regional tensions.
Diplomacy, trade and human rights could never be combined harmoniously, the rest elsewhere either. But there are cases - it is certainly not unique - where courage to condition our good relationship to behaviors that respect human dignity would grow our leaders.
