Nayef: Women driving not a priority

gulf-news.com

Riyadh: Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz, Saudi Interior Minister, has said allowing women to drive is a "secondary matter" that does not merit a debate.

"It is unfortunate that allowing women to drive has been turned into an issue. I am indeed surprised at the matter being raised in this manner. I don't know if those who raised the issue at this particular time were aware of the priorities.


He's obviously not a woman, by the way......

However, from a very high level view, it probably made the most sense at the time. Up until the collapse of the Soviet Union I think most US foreign policy was based on stopping them. Now that that is completed, GB has changed the focus from stopping communism (regardless of what popped up in its place) toward supporting democracy.

Soooooooo.......you believe Bush is doing this all for democracy. Is that your position?

As for torture and murder being a normal part of life for me.....oh never mind. Why I bother with you is the bigger question.

Now you've decided to stop asking questions? You must be tired.

Must be a very slow day at work today!!

Hardly......the work day has been over for hours.
