I guess they are sprucing up their image with the west a little bit. Women can drive cars too now! Wow!
Last time we were discussing Saudi Arabia, I think I said that women not being allowed to drive wasn't even in the top ten things wrong with that sick and twisted place.
Their enthusiastic export of violent, chauvinistic Wahhabist ideology isn't likely to change in spite of some prince deciding that chicks can drive and hems can be a couple inches higher.
