Saudi Arabia to allow women to drive for the first time

Your local news is wrong. Girls can be licensed to drive at 18 just like boys.

 

Again, I am not making comparisons. I believe that people of all nations can live in a democracy, just as they've done in the US for 240 years, and just as they're doing in many nations now which weren't democracies all that long ago.

Are you actually a supporter Saddam Hussein?

 

If you want to know what happened to M.E. study the quran. And see what it calls blacks. And read about its social laws about women. Also if a muslim man gets 1700 or so young virgins in paradise what do the women get? More frustration and abuse ?

 

No I'm not a supporter of Hussain but the facts remain the same. Poet,haha. I'm a supporter of the truth and truth is he had no weapons but he did have oil and was about to stop taking the dollar which made APEC very unhappy. It is not patriotic to go against your nations laws or defend those who do. Patriotism is a two edged sword at times. I'm very patriotic. I miss America a land that I loved and always will.

 

I lived there for 2 decades.. There are no virgins in the Koran... Saudi Arabia is a great place to live and work..

We have at least one who seems to fanatically defend Saudi Arabia, almost no matter what they do.

 

Hadith then? It has been years since I studied it and the mind ain't what it use to be either. Too much imput? haha

 

It's not wise to confuse opinions with 'the truth'.

 

The building wasn't burning and NO ONE was forced to go back into the building. No one was burned nor did they die of smoke inhalation. 14 died when the staircase collapsed.

 

You were being too kind by using 'almost'.

 

This is nothing, do you have any idea how many are payed to defend them in Washington ?

 

Your problem is ignorance. 40,000 Americans live in KSA.

 

Seems to me the truth is we keep handing over nations to ilsam and best pals with the most radical nation on earth. Look at Europe now and most of Africa.

 

Iraq was crippled by two decades of war and sanctions. Oil production was
WAAAAAAAAY down and oil infrastructure was running on hair pins and rubberbands.

Saddam wasn't going to switch off the petro dollar. He would have been thrilled to sell in dollars. and he'd been begging for Haliburton to come in and make repairs since 1998.

The Iraq war was brought to you by the dual citizens of the PNAC.. neocons and idiots... Had nothing to do with OPEC.

 

Not quite clear what you're saying but if it refers to the problems with Muslims in the democracies then we're in agreement.

 

From what some say, Hussain was left holding the bag after the first Gulf War and he wanted out of OPEC and PNAC? He lost Kuwait and was not happy about it? He was also not happy with Turkey or the Saudi's.

 

Ad nothing to do with Saddam Hussein either it seems.

 

That has nothing to do with what the poster said. The 'ignorance' is not his.

 

KSA was opposed to the war on Iraq and were still trying to get Saddam to step down and go into exile right up to Bush's invasion. Saddam was still in OPEC but hadn't met their OPEC quota since the first Gulf War.. and Iraq was under sanctions.

PNAC is Project for New American Century. Read up on the signatories of the 1998 letter to Clinton.

 

Yes.. He is ignorant.. just as you are. The girl's school was not on fire. Something in the attic was smoking (they think someone was sneaking a smoke). The deaths were caused by the collapse of the staircase and panic.. All of which can be blamed on the crappy, antiquated, overcrowded building... So yes Abdullah was furious.

 

Margot, the ****ing place is hell, with temperature in summer reaching 115-120 degrees.... they don’t have enough money to pay me to live and to work there!

 

Who is Saudi to tell Iraq what to do? I'm not on sides with any of them but I don't think Iraq was legal war. Far as KSA take a look at the women in this short clip. Men walk around free while women hide under heavy tent like wraps. And the place could use some tiddying up or garbage cans. Trash all over he place. But it does have some beautiful places too. Dubai is a beautiful city and one of the worlds most modern but Saudi has a long way to go to match that place,,lol.

 

Somewhat off subject above is unimaginable engineering.

I'm glad to know the Saudis are letting women drive now hope coming out of their shells with peepholes is next. Of course we are on the other end of the spectrum here. Too much freeedumb.
