The King Finally Does the Right Thing

Saudi monarch King AbdullahMy hearty congratulations to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for pardoning a young lady who was gang raped earlier this year.  Under the Kingdom's conservative laws, she was also liable for punishment for being in the company of men not related to her.  Pres. George W. Bush also weighed in wish a strong expression of displeasure about the episode.  Your Majesty, it's time to banish Saudi Arabia's medieval standards of justice and bring your country into the modern era.
