"I don't think living in Afghanistan gives the woman much choice though. Thanks the the US et. al. an Afghan woman finally competed in the Olympics. "

Yes thanks to the US hundred of thousands of innocent civilians killed and displaced so this woman can go to the olimpics.

So when will the US free Saudi Arabia? Come on? When?

The 911 terrorists where all Saudi nationals. Why isnt the US putting pressure on Saudi to hunt them? The taliban are Saudi nationals. Al Quaeda are Saudi. Look on the FBI most wanted. 90% Saudi.

So why hasnt the US and UN put pressure in the form of military options on the table over there?

Why can the King of Saudi shake hands with women on national tv but if a man is caught doing it in public his hand is cut off and the women recieves lashes and jail time?

Why isnt your logic in support of women directed at Saudi and the pressure put on Rudd to go into Saudi?

Funny what oil buys these days isnt it? Freedom of oppresssion is bullcrap... not the reason any of these wars are fought.
