#2 recalled Yara, who wears an abaya and headscarf, like most Saudi women.

Looking like a duck eh, not an American. One might expect the duck treatment from those buggers in man-dresses in such cases. To confirm her ignorance, she stays on in the Kingdom. No sympathy from me.

#3 It's my understanding that expat American women wear abaya and headscarf when they leave their guarded compounds, even when they go out as a group tour. Wearing Western garb is asking for a very different kind of trouble than poor Ms. Yara received. One of many reasons I wasn't in the least interested the several times Mr. Wife was offered an assignment over there.

#4 ...While stationed in the Magic Kingdom in 1995, I was at a market in Riyadh when I came around a corner and almost ran smack into a Mutaawa. As these guys are escorted by a Saudi policeman - carrying an 9mm submachine gun - I felt it best to apologize and go about my way. In perfect, American english, the Mutaawa smiled and said, "Don't worry about it - where you from?"

HE'D grown up in Chicago.
