#1 Very true. That's why the Imams in Iran are toast...and hey - the Persian ladies are quite fetching.

#2 Especially when all you can see are the eyes... I'm getting a vision, now, wait, wait, I see... black velvet paintings on a roadside... $5 each... $20 with a frame...

No, sorry. Just fooling around - you're right. Some of the Arab ladies are pretty awesome, as well. If your daddy is a very big shot, Saudi femalians can even get a "job" at Aramco, in certain departments, anyway. I knew a few in the Computer Applications Dept and in Career Development - two of the few places in which they are permitted.

Of course, they are treated as pets or jokes, not equals, by the Saudi men... and resented for taking away a headcount slot... but not so overtly or offensively as to anger that Big Daddy guy. No sir! Saudi's know what to kiss and when, where power is involved.

Free flow of information. That's the key, awright!

#3 Curiouser and Curiouser ... talked to her again today and turns out she is a Sunni, and thinks Sunni's like merkins. Doesn't believe the brothers are dead - thinks we are kidding. Believes all the trouble is in the south - sadr? - not the north. Educated journalist. Hmm. Well, not that educated ... knew nothing of Idaho! heh
