15 Saudi arabian girls die in fire, not allowed to leave building due to dress code.. 15 girls died Friday in Saudi Arabia, when their school caught fire. The girls were not allowed to leave because they were not wearing the headscarves and abayas required by Saudi interpretation of Islamic law, according to this BBC article [kuro5hin.org] The "police" in Saudi Arabia are not much different from the Taliban's police--they even have the same name. I suggest that we should adopt a similar policy to the one we have towards Cuba with regard to Saudi Arabia. Any female Saudi who shows up at a US embassy, base, or whatever, should automatically be granted political asylum. If women there have someplace they can easily escape to, the insanity of the Saudi men will remove itself from the gene pool in about one generation. comment () trackback ()  2:31:27 PM     Mugabe pledges rapid land reform. Zimbabwe's President Mugabe is sworn in for a new six-year term, promising to speed up his controversial land reform programme. [BBC News: world] Since attempts to defeat Mugabe through what passes for a democratic process in Zimbabwe have failed, the farmers there are doomed to lose everything. I think the best they can do now is follow the example of the marijuana legalization advocates who were murdered by the US last year. They should destroy all the buildings and equipment on their property, salt their fields, and then leave the country with as much of their wealth as they can manage. Don't leave anything behind to fall into the hands of the communists. comment () trackback ()  2:26:21 PM
