Shoura Council to Permit Saudi Women’s Driving?
Peculiar goings on with a story originally put out by Al-Arabiya TV regarding the Saudi Shoura Council’s decision to permit some Saudi women to drive. That story is no longer on Al-Arabiya’s website, but other news organizations, from Al-Quds Al-Arabi and Arabic CNN to Kuwait’s Al-Siyassa have all picked it up. It seems to be the same story, from the same Shoura Council source, who might be mistaken, or at least premature in his comments. The new law has yet to be passed by the Council, has not yet even been scheduled for debate.
This story, along with the January report in the British paper The Telegraph , suggest that something is happening on the issue.
In any event, what’s being reported (and thanks to commenter Saudi in the US for the links) is:

Pirates near the coast of Somalia in recent days have seized Thai and Iranian vessels. These come on the heels of last weekend’s capture of the Saudi supertanker. The pirates are now negotiating with the Saudis for a ransom. Incidentally, if you think it’s Saudi Arabia that is going to be paying for the ship’s release, you’re wrong. Ultimately it’s you and I that will pay for this in the form of higher gas prices. But there’s some good news from the area as w... more
But it’s just as well if the mullah refuses; Pakistan’s ISI has been keeping him -- along with, perhaps other notable personages -- safe and sound.

As the U.S. presidential election continues in full swing, a lot of talk centers around Iraq. Senators Clinton and Obama are competing with one another as to the soonest pullout date possible. Senator McCain is pledging to stay the course until victory is at hand. And popular support for the war is at an all time low. So who is right?
There is no question that the U.S. started the war based on wrong intelligence. Prior to the war, there was no significant Al Qaeda presence in Iraq, and no sto... more
They say that silence can be deafening. This week the atrocities continued against the Kurds in Turkey and despite the footage to prove it, hardly anyone flinched. The international community remained largely silent, the media didn’t bother doing anything with the pictures or videos, and the headlines continued reporting everything else happening in this world from California to Tibet…
Earlier in the week , I had reported about the Turkish forces’ brutality against Kurds who ... more
Finally, I forced myself to write the third part of this approach; because as I am going more through this, it’s getting harder to set up the solution and it’s the essence of any argument. And the major reason was laziness!
Summary of two prior parts:
1. Based on many factors that affect our life, we pick an ideology and we stick to it. Maybe some other factors affect our life and in the middle of way we change to a better one. Then everyone has a right to choose his/hers, stick to it and... more
