In reply to the discussion: Saudi Arabia: Five beheaded and ‘crucified’ amid ‘disturbing’ rise in executions [View all]Violet_Crumble

See, what's really incredibly lame about the attempt to argue we should oppose any attack by the US is because Saudi Arabia are nasty and want the US to do it is that I oppose any attack and don't give a flying fuck what Saudi Arabia wants. The entire logic is applied to other issues like the I/P conflict by 'supporters' of Israel, and waves of 'look at how bad they are! If you support a Palestinian state you must support that!'
What I don't get is why when there's so many good and convincing arguments against the US attacking Syria, there's a few DUers who have to take the silly road and go all hyperbolic and use things that have got nothing to do with any attack on Syria. It's almost as though they're in a competition to see who can come up with the most ridiculous thing. I suspect they get bonus points when they sit there and accuse other DUers of things like denying that Saudi Arabia has a habit of lopping off limbs that would make Joffrey proud
