  Khashoggi wasn't American. And imo, he was an idiot - never sought asylum, constantly criticized the Saudi regime, and in the end got diced because he decided it would be spiffy to go to the embassy of the very regime he attacked to get a marriage document or something. That was hubris at play, thinking that he was highly placed enough to not be killed.

    Killing idiots is still evil, not sure how any of that matters in the slightest. I also don't think his nationality should matter, but you're right that he was only a US resident.

      His nationality matters in that the US shouldn't raise as much hue and cry as people expected them to do. In fact, the US response was more than sufficient. Should the US government be equally responsible for your life if you decide to put your head inside a crocodile's mouth? Yet the US government does its part *1000 to get its own citizens back to safety (or kills them with drones, but that's another story). Most countries don't even bother with such hassles - on the contrary, if you're unlucky enough to be British, your government will try to use you as a bargaining chip.
