We thought that being a tribal society, Saudi Arabian voters would select people on the basis of their own tribe. The parallel is striking between the swelling African slave trade, where one tribal society made war on another in order to send slave coffles westward to the awaiting ships on the east side of the Atlantic, and the Indian slave trade where one Indian society made war on another in order to send slaves eastward to the awaiting ships on the west side of the Atlantic.
