    I'm guessing this has less to do with the woman's ability than the dude's inability -- but overall.. this sucks.

    sad

    Apparently, since the illegal overthrow of Saddam, this militancy towards women is creeping back into Iraqi society too.

    If there is one good thing about communism and saddam, that would be the elimination of sexism in their respective countries.

    It's not "creeping back", it's already in place, enforced by the local militias (especially in Shi'ite dominated region).

    Saudi 'justice' system is hopelessly corrupt, because they rely on unreliable methods of bringing/presenting evidence against the accused. They need a complete overhaul, and they've been slowly making progress in that arena more recently (e.g. instituting new limits on how the religious police operate/what they can do, screening witnesses with lie-detectors, etc).

    How else are the supposed to protect themselves from witches?

    It would be a disaster to have witches running loose.

    I, for one, wish we had a federal alert system for the witch threat...with all sorts of colors.

    yes and we need to crack down on broom licenses. Anyone could just walk into a Wal-Mart and just buy a broom without a license.

    Peasent 1: She looks like one!
    Peasent 2: She turned me into a newt!
    Sir Bedevere (incredulous): A newt?
    Peasent 2 (sheepishly): I got better.

    I for one am glad the muslims are cracking down on these witches. I mean how dare a woman thinks or disobeys a man. It must be witchcraft. Lets burn her at the steak.

    Man, you are seriously off the reservation if you are in any way equating witchery in Saudi Arabia to our sincere efforts to provide for homeland security. That's just taking it way too far. You'll say anything for a cheap applause line amongst all these libs around here. It's sad how you've sold out like that for popularity.

    Soo... we should only have large useless government programs when they get to carry guns?

    Is that the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?
