These points are horrible, but have no bearing at all on whether or not the US government is friend or foe. The existence of worse does not make better good.

These points are horrible, but have no bearing at all on whether or not the US government is friend or foe. The existence of worse does not make better good. The state of things in the US is scary, and Saudi Arabia existing doesn't make it less so. Edit: I'd argue that corruption of The State by lobbyists, special interest groups, and shadowy Super PACs cost thousands of lives a year in the USA.
