#1 So, an American woman! meets with a Saudi dissident to talk about democracy and Nayef (he who runs the Commision for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) is reaching for some leather to bite down on?

I see that everything is going to plan.

Now about that 40km strip in the east of that damnable country.

#2 So the kingdom is rapidily deteriorating? Why shouldn't this be seen as an oppertunity?

#3 As I wrote yesterday, Tony:

"Welcome to the city of Sakaka, capital of the Republic of Eastern Arabia. Our country is nestled between the Persian Gulf and the rolling sand dunes of Arabia 40 kilometers to the west. Though a new country, we are prosperous thanks to the abundance of oil and free thanks to a mutual defense treaty with the United States of America.

"Our chief of state is Prince Mahmoud, third cousin of King Mohammed of Morroco, who has graciously consented to serve us in Eastern Arabia. Our parliament of 80 deputies (47 men, 33 women) is led by Prime Minister Fatima al-Abdullah.

"Mayor Moshe Benjamin welcomes you to our fair city and hopes your stay will be restful and prosperous.

"For more information from our Chamber of Commerce, click here. For a listing of mosques, churches and synagogues in our city, click here. For the best nightlife in Arabia, click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here."
