An easy way to solve that problem would be to not station women in Arab countries.

The best solution is to pull of out Saudia Arabia and let Saddam roll into Riyadh and eliminate the saudi aristocracy. Then we come in and destroy Saddam and take all the free oil we want.

Screw em. If they want to apply their ridiculous religious edicts to the troops stationed there, then lets see how long they last without us. Ungrateful idiots- none of them would still be in power becoming obscenely wealthy if not for US protection.

<<<-- Bush budget to project deficits in FY2002 and 2003 --

WASHINGTON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush
will propose huge increases in spending for defense and
homeland security, forecasting deficits of $106 billion this
fiscal year and $80 billion in fiscal 2003, White House budget
chief Mitchell Daniels said on Wednesday.

The White House figures assume 0.7 percent growth in the
2002 calendar year followed by 3.8 percent growth in 2003,
Daniels said. The White House is scheduled to release its
budget blueprint on Feb. 4.

Daniels said the federal budget should return to surpluses
by fiscal year 2005, if not 2004. Over 10 years the White House
is forecasting a nearly $2.9 trillion surplus, excluding
certain tax cuts and other policy measures. When those policy
changes are included, the surplus over 10 years comes to about
$1 trillion, Daniels said.

He said Bush's budget would also "mark an interruption in
the reduction of our national debt."

"We look forward to resuming it as early as fiscal '04.
Debt reduction is a very important objective," Daniels said.>>>
