Bush's
great allies, the Saudis, are doing their best Taliban impersonation:
The Saudi interior minister has said women will not be allowed to vote in the country's municipal elections starting in February 2005.
In response to a question about women's getting the vote, Prince Nayef bin Sultan said simply: "I don't think that women's participation is possible."
These neanderthals have the full and enthusiastic backing of the Bush clan.
