Let me see if I understand you correctly. The Bush Gang (not to be confused with the brilliant Gadd Gang) are dependent on the good will of the Saudi family, not least for economical reasons. This has been a good long relationship for both parties. Correct so far?

Enters a poor rape victim that, besides have got gang banged, further has apparently earned her self being whipped half to death.

In the eyes of any morally intact individual a completely baroque turn of events.

Now you ask yourself, what if anything is poor Bush going to do about it. Should he speak out in contempt of such hideous mal justice. YES. Will he speak out. NO. Hearts have no place in politics. At least not if it will potentially cost you bitterly. Alas.

But maybe I misunderstood the whole question.
