the elections are only for half the seats on the nation's 178 municipal councils, with the rest being allocated by the government, they represent the first hesitant steps towards power sharing by the autocratic and fabulously wealthy House of Saud.


ITS A START

Their was an elections held in Saudi Arabia.  The first ever in its 70 year history.  Women didnt get to vote, and only about 1/6 of the population voted, and the vote that conformed to international standards on anonymity.

Ok, I won't bash Bush until he's actually done something. But remember I said it if he mentions it.

This is great news but PLEASE, PLEASE... Let's hope Bush stays out of this one at least. I know he now thinks he shall completely democratize the mid-east now that he's been so "successful" in Iraq wink.gif Let them do it on their own this time. His crusade has only started I'm afraid. Sure we shall promote democracy and help them to it. But let's not have Bush involved in this one as well. On the other hand I would actually be surprised if he tries to force democracy upon them, considering their business affiliation.

Alright already, we know that you hate Bush

I'm sure that you could find a reason to blame Bush for not getting laid as often as you would like.

We all know your stance, Bush is the root of all evil, give it a rest


I hate Bush, too.

I also advocate Gronne's hatred.

I also hope more pretzels feel the same way as I do.
