    I only want whatever those women want. I don't want to force them to be like me.

    It's not, not really, but I thought it newsworthy since it's the first time women will be representing Saudi Arabia.

    Do you have any idea how sinister the saudi monarchy is?!

    Do you have any idea how much they meddle in the cultural affairs around the world?!

    Do you have any idea how much they force the categorically insane ideology of wahhabism on unsuspecting peoples?!

    The saudi monarchy should have hit the ground before Saddam and Iraq were ever a twinkle in PNACs eyes!
