He is off to Saudi Arabia to beg the rulers of a country steeped in human rights abuses. They executed 81 people in one day last week. Why is he there? To beg for oil for the rest of the world, apparently. The oil that no one will be wanting in the next 30 years or so – or will they?
It just takes three weeks of an illegal war started by a power-mad dictator to show that we are light years away from the greener society that we crave.
