If this doesn't convince you of the need for "regime change" in Saudi Arabia, what will?
In a December New York Times dispatch from Jidda, Saudi Arabia, concerning the heavily religious-law-regulated Perdu lingerie shop, its female marketing director said that about 85 percent of Saudi women wear ill-fitting bras, perhaps because the law requires that sales clerks in public stores be men. According to the Times, "(W)hile women may be berated for showing a ... leg or an arm (in public), they must ask strange men for help in assessing their bra size." [New York Times, 12-3-02]
Heck, this is something that could even provoke the French:
US: "They fund terror"
France: "Use Diplomacy"
US "They support hateful propaganda in the madrassahs"
France: "Use Diplomacy"
US: "They make women wear poorly fitted lingerie"
France: "To Arms! Gladly will we help drive this evil from the Earth"
