I like how lib's are now "praying" for this women, but where were they when Bush was liberating tens of millions of women? Lib's were saying "that's not our business." But now that Obama is president, they care. Even so, you notice how few comments are made on this topic. Lib's need more time to go by, so as to not give credit to Bush.
This is the height of hypocracy, as the these women needed you more then than they do now.

Let's see: A Republican freed the slaves, and Bull Conner was a Democrat. And GWB's Freedom Agenda in Arabia is working! Lib's talk about freedom, but talk is it. They not only don't give credit to GWB (and America!), but they ignored the "purple fingered" voters who risked their lives to vote.
God bless you, President Bush!!!!!!! We don't miss you, we require you!

Wow! How prescient George W. Bush was, huh? Way to go America, just showing the world how to be free (to the chagrin of lib's).

Just all part of George W. bush's Freedom Agenda! The man you called 'retarted' knew that people yearned to be free, and once they saw liberated Iraqis and Afghan's, they would be inspired! Wow, do you have egg on your face now, Sodbuster! Read it and weep!

Dear Jesus! Protect this brave, strong woman and all her followers!! I have emailed the Saudi Embassy on her behalf and they will not take it and called them and they won't accept it. Call the White House tommorrow for her! If we do not help her they could kill her and many others! All women and stand together no matter what faith, view point, country, etc. from! This is basic human rights for female human beings!! Pray for her she is facing very evil, sick men that love to abuse women!

And you were praying for the women of Iraq and Afghanistan when they were being liberated? Or were you cursing Bush, who liberated them? Do you know that this "driving protest" is a direct result of Bush's Freedom Agenda?
Also, read your comment on Bush not finding the door in China. Is that worse than Obama not finding the door to the White House, which is his home?

Oh, pleeeeeease! Those women are hardly "liberated", if you call being cained and killed all the time and for just wanting to go to school!! Bush liberated them?! What a joke, but it isn't a funny one, more like sick one. We are there for minerals, just like the Russians. Bush sent our boys to die for oil profits and for his daddy. Bush couldn't put a decent sentence together when talking, Pres. Obama can. Doesn't mean I really trust him either, but at least he has more upstairs. This has nothing to do w/women being killed for driving a car anyhow.

While not disagreeing with anything else you said, I have to point out: Driving is NOT a "basic human right", not in Saudi Arabia and not in the USA. Every country has laws dictating who can drive and what is required to drive legally. Whether you or I like them or not, these are Saudi citizens, breaking Saudi laws, but we CAN try to influence the punishment.

Oh, so men can drive, but women cannot be given the chance to even take a driving test?! And to drive! Or face being stoned to death or their heads cut off! You strain at a knat!!

Unfortunately they kill protesters there, but you go girl!

You go girl!! Wish I could be there to protest with her.

You wish you could be there with her. Well, where were you when Iraqis and Afghans were being liberated? Cursing Cheny, Bush, etc.? These guys started the Freedom Agenda, and now you want to hop on board years later, once the fruit of their labors kick in? Too late, sister, you abandoned your sisters when they needed you the most.

Last time I checked this article is about women's rights and you want to make it an idiotic political debate. You sound ridiculous and like you've been locked in a dark hole since Bush left office. It's pretty easy to praise some people, berate other people, but do nothing yourself, eh?
