October 6, 2016JASTA: A Disaster that Can Still be Stopped
Critics of Saudi Arabia were
jubilant when the US Congress overrode President Obama’s veto on the
Justice against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA). Russian media could
not hide its delight at the vote. Riyadh was fuming. Tehran celebrated.
Saudi Arabia, in spite of itself, became a center of polarization in
both public opinion and global official policies.
But a moment of calm and reflection is due in this period of gathering clouds in US-Saudi horizons.
As a point of start, one should ask:
Is Saudi Arabia, as a government, really responsible for 9 11? For every
crime, there is a motive. Why would the Saudis declare war on their
closest ally, the US, back in 2001? There was no Iran deal. No Arab
Spring. No frictions or tension.http://mebriefing.com/?p=2547
