The United States is mostly known for its double standard policy toward other countries. This policy is mostly common for the Middle East, Africa, and Gulf countries because of political interest. In an interview conducted with a BA degree holder on International Politics from Pennsylvania State University and who spent a couple of years in the Middle East, Melinda Maule asserted that “we completely overlook the human rights and other abuses committed by countries like Saudi, Israel, Egypt, and Turkey in order to build strategic military alliances (realism is a dangerous and self-fulfilling prophecy)” (Maule Personal Interview). Many countries which are considered as United States allies in the world have bad records in human rights. For example, Saudi Arabia, one of the biggest allies of the United States is ranked at the tail of lists in human rights reports.
