I think the question of whether women might enjoy marginally more rights living under the Saudi regime as under the Taliban is moot. The point is that both are repressive, reactionary, repulsive and misogynistic. One of them is an ally, coalition partner and prolific purchaser of all our latest weaponry, the other we are at war with. Under the circumstances I would consider it unlikely that Western political and military strategy in the region has much to do with a woman's right to wear make-up. |
