It is None of Our Business if Iran Attacked Saudi Arabia

The Trump Administration has blamed Iran for the attacks on Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure but, fortunately at least for now "wants to avoid war." 

Iran denies the attack, but honestly, so what if they did it? How is Saudi Arabia a friend of ours in any way shape or form? This is after all, according to Freedom House, one of only nine countries in the world that they gave their lowest ranking to both for political freedom and civil rankings in 2010. In 2019, both scores remain unchanged. Saudi Arabia is currently waging an absolutely brutal war against Yemen. It only abolished slavery in 1962 and still uses crucifixion as a method of capital punishment. 

And, of course, they make their women wear paper bags over their heads in one of the hottest regions of the world. At least they can go to one of Saudi Arabia's many beaches to create an utterly surreal scene:

Not exactly working on their tan...

As far as Saudi Arabia's relationship with the United States, it is little better. Yes, I know there's that pesky petrodollar, but the price isn't (and never was) worth it. Saudi Arabia has spent approximately $100 billion exporting the fanatical Wahhabist version of Sunni Islam around the globe. (Virtually all non-nationalist Islamic terrorists are Wahhabist Sunnis and virtually none are Shia, the Islamic sect that holds sway in Iran.) Key Saudi Arabian officials helped fund the 9/11 hijackers and as was exposed by the Podesta email leaks, the Saudi Arabian government has been funding Al Qaeda and ISIS.

And yet Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama agreed to the largest ever arms sale to Saudi Arabia. A record that held until Donald Trump broke it.

Absolutely unreal.

Saudi Arabia is not an ally of the United States. In fact, they are a blatant enemy. Yet all we hear from the Left is blather about "muh Russia" and from the Right is "muh Iran." It should make no difference to the United States if Iran attacked Saudi Arabia. It's none of our business and we should not be involved. And while Iran's government has plenty of problems itself, if those two countries did go to war, we should probably be quietly rooting for Iran.
