I'm with Emerald on her point about it being SA's problem.
If the Saudi people are OK with it, then why should we want to change it? Who are we to tell them that it's wrong?
Personally, I like the whoe direction that we take with SA. They have something we want, so we give them money for it. Whatever they want to do in their own country is not our problem. If those things become enough of a problem (child labor, for example), then we can think about imposing trade restrictions.
Wish we'd take this stance with other countries. Like Israel. Still trying to figure out how we come out ahead in that relationship.
