"Maureen Dowd (“Camel’s Nose Under the Wheel?,” column, June 15) quotes Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al-Saud as saying: “We’re not calling for diplomatic relations with Israel. We’re just asking for ladies to drive the car.”
But in contrast with the intended implication of that statement, allowing women to drive and recognizing Israel are in fact intimately connected: the failure to carry out either of them exhibits the unwillingness to come to terms with Western civilization of the 21st century.
