#1 Those are admittedly good arguments. Clearly there is only one viable solution:
Let the women run the country!

#2 Have they given any thought to cutting the heads off the conservatives, starting with the religious police? Just a thought...

#3 Fred : Dang it you beat me, although we could make life miserable by "amputating" something of value to those clerics lower than the head, and watch the frustration. It would be popcorn time.

But on another front, take a look at how a woman views politics. In one case, I saw up close an aspect of how a woman (my wife) made her decision to vote here. Beyond agreeing with "W" on Crime, Defense, and Economic issues, she also thought there was "something wrong" with Kerry, and he wasn't emotionally as sound as the Prez. She also made a comparison of the two wives as a reflection of the two men. Snicker. (10 years ago I made the right decision, I guess)

#4 I dunno, BigEd, there may be something to the 'wife comparison' thing. Someone else has commented that Laura Bush seems to be a pretty solid, down-to-earth woman. For George W to win her heart and keep her implies that he must have something going for him. She doesn't seem like a social climber.

On the otherhand, T-resa would probably be more fun at a party involving drugs, alcohol and nudity.

#6 Steve, Teresa is more the kind of person to sit on a throne, watching the peons perform below. She wouldn't sully herself by actually participating. I am so very glad this country did not give her the White House to play in!

And I've never seen a hog (or anything else) killin', but I agree with the Deacon.

#7 Just FYI - King Abdul Aziz, the Flounder of SA hismself, decreed 4 exemptions within the confines of Aramco's boundaries - one of them was that wymyn could work with myn. It's limited to 3 departments, but it happens. And it's amazing, but true, that the religious fops survive and their tiny little heads don't explode or anything.

So...

Extra points for guessing the other 3 exemptions... one of which has been rescinded.
