#4 I liked this comment at the end of the NYT article:

"...But Jyza Sybai , a lanky, tomboyish Saudi 10-year-old, visiting Syria with her family for a short vacation, disagreed. "All my friends have Fulla now, but I still like Barbie the best," Jyza said. "She has blond hair and cool clothes. Every single girl in Saudi looks like Fulla, with the dark hair and the black scarf.

"What's so special about that?"

#6 The reason there's so much pent-up demand for blonde hair is that all the peroxide production is diverted to the bomb-making industry. :)
