I have a real problem with some of the friendships among countries. Could anyone imagine having a personal friend akin to Turkey.
Now if you had a friend like the country of turkey you would forever be looking behind your back to make sure that if another friend of turkey and turkey were at your home, Turkey's other friend didn't have a shiv or gun or grenade for that matter.
If you had Saudi Arabia as your personal friend you would be looking to see that you don't do anything that Saudi doesn't think is appropriate or what they deem sinful, otherwise you would or could receive a thousand lashes for a year.
Okay, so now Saudi Arabia is a 'friend' of the United States...do we want our friends to take part in unity and friendship marches and then go home and lash the hell out of someone for doing this very same thing that they had just marched in the streets about, saying everyone is united and must be tolerant of the other?
Call me crazy, but shouldn't the U. S. be friendly with those who think and indeed act in good faith and in the same vain as the united states...
why are we allies with Turkey, and why is Saudi Arabia our friend and ally? of course there are others in this list of schizophrenic friendships, but I have a real problem with this.
I know it isn't just me.... but I wouldn't want those countries saying they had my back, when they could at any time stab me there......
