#4 Lol - Killer comments, lol!

Ship, I may be going back - but not to SA, just the region... prolly either Bahrain or UAE. Mebbe I can hook up with Gentle, heh. There are some personnel shuffles afoot and one particular move would make this a possibility. I'll believe it when it's real and the check clears, etc.

#5 .com,
Are you sure you want to go back to the area? Please reconsider.

#3...there are no jews (legally) in Saudi Arabia. However, my son went to school with a child whose mother was jewish and father was Christian.
This is going to sound really bad but most of the westerners married to saudis, at least the ones I met, deserve to be citizens of that country. I hope that they are forced to renounce their american citizenship to become saudi.

#6 A4724 - Of course, though you don't specify it, you'r referring to Western WYMYN married to Saudis - the reverse would not happen within Saudi Arabia - and the number of unattached Saudi wymyn outside Saudi is infinitesimally small (though I actually know one, heh).

Lots of "ifs" betwixt now and then, so I'm not holding my breath. But there is a strange satisfaction that comes from taking their money - and then spending it in Thailand and Singapore and the US, heh. They will have to accept remote development this time - something they wouldn't accept in April 2003, so my exit was thus assured. If they grow up enough to handle that, well, I might just give it a whirl. Appreciate your POV - the place is truly a hellhole on every level - but I won't live there, again, no matter what. Might not even go for a quick meeting - maybe make them meet me in Bahrain. But, as I said, lots of things between here and there - prolly won't work out anyway.

Grins, heh. :-)

#8 Screw the citizenship. What does it take to qualify as a royal family member?

#9 SH---the most important qualification is that you give generously to the terrorist outfit charity of your choice.

#11 Will the foreigner/citizens be able to get some of that money for marrying someone with special needs? Will the men amongst them be allowed the traditional four full-time wives plus a couple extra weekenders? Enquiring minds want to know!
