#3 Rania got more justice because her case was so high profile. Thats it. Its all about PR for the magic kingdom so they can say that we in the west are all wrong about them ie there is no womens rights problem there.

If she wasn't a famous battered woman, she would still be waiting for that divorce. If she was a normal women, then when and if she got the dicorce the husband would get the children without any debate. He could prevent her from ever seeing them again and she couldn't do a thing about it except open a case which wouldn't ever be resolved thanks to the good ol boys protecting the priveledges of their own sex first and foremost.

#5 Why is it that we jump through every hoop to help victims of the "big surf," but ignore the evil committed by man?

One is controllable; the other is not.
