I can't believe the extent to which Western media are hailing the Saudi regime for lifting the ban on female driving. It shows the hypocrisy of Western governments and media. Let me give you an example: if Iranian regime or Syrian regime were to cancel the death penalty--they won't, but stay along for the argument--do you think that any one in Western media would dare write in praise of such a gesture? But now that we know the extent of GCC funding of DC and London think tanks, we know that those articles praising the Saudi regime are the results of the "string-attached".
