Comments on: Shocking Video: A Saudi Woman Driving! http://jonathanturley.org/2008/03/11/shocking-video-a-saudi-woman-driving/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:44:26 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: NPO http://jonathanturley.org/2008/03/11/shocking-video-a-saudi-woman-driving/#comment-89494 NPO Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:44:37 +0000 http://jonathanturley.wordpress.com/?p=1245#comment-89494 I hate Saudi Arabia beyond what I can posssibly express. They are the source of most of the terrorism, by spreading their ideology to Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and now it is spreading to Yemen, Egypt, and Chechnyea. The world needs to suffocate them with embargos. Let them rot, and may be they become rational. US should shut down immigration to Palestinian, who come here and shoot US soldiers. In fact they should ban anybody coming here with a headscarf. Just kick them out. If hejab is so good, then they should go back where they came from. US and other western cultures need to wake up, otherwise the cultures and way of life might be affected. I hate Saudi Arabia beyond what I can posssibly express.

In both videos, you are left in disbelief. It is beyond comprehension that there is a large nation where women must ask their sons to drive them or can be arrested for sitting at a table at Starbucks with a non-relative.

These days, you cant here a news story w/out a spin, left, or right. So, while a story like this would have normally been buried in the mass media under articles of Britney Spears and "John Cho: 'Star Trek' role is 'daunting'", these internet videos are easily availible, to the point, and becoming more popular everday. Thanks for being a medium in sharing the video JT. GF It’s videos like these (i.e the puppy getting thrown off the cliff) which really open our eyes to some of the things going on over there.

We in the U.S. take our freedom to drive, whether we're men or women, for granted, and it's hard to fathom that there are countries like Saudi Arabia who treat women with almost sub-human status.
