COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
Saudi Arabia's driving
ban and the pioneering women who got it lifted
Ben Hubbard talks to
the protesters who were shunned from society when they protested against the
law in the 1990s
Look, I'm glad women can now drive, but going on about such
a trivial step in the 21st century is insane.
Saudi Arabia is backward and dangerous.
Indeed, some of the countries America has attacked or
destroyed with Britain's help were far more advanced in their treatment of
women and quite a number of other things.
Articles about this trivial advance by the Saudis are an
attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Meanwhile, the Saudi government kills women and children in
Yemen.
