Ever wished the state would take away your driver license? Just curious.

Sex Drive

Arab News writer Halah Al-Nasir doesn't understand why Saudi Arabia comes in for so much criticism over its prohibition on women driving. "I was amazed at the link between women's freedom and driving a car," she writes. "It is an illogical link that is common among Westerners":

As Saudi women, we are sure that when women drive it will bring with it a number of traffic and social problems that we could do very well without. From my perspective, the number of Western women that I have met and who envied me and who have wished to live in the same way has been numerous. I don't blame them.

Are there really Western women who'd prefer if women were forbidden to drive?

<<Which freedoms do you miss?>>

So far not a one. Then again I don't want to blow you up. The freedoms lost so far are the ones the terrorists took advantage of.
