Welcome back. See you visited two non democratic nations. Any observations from each one of them? Their similarities or differences?

As you mentioned non democratic so both are similar. For the Egyptians I think they are resigned to the fact that this is fate. They cannot assemble, period and they are suffering. The Saudis on the other hand are richer and are accustomed to live under the Monarchy.

Muslims do not care for democracy in general. It is why democracy gets no support among muslim nations. It gets only lip support.

I met 2 Saudis guys at a conference in the USA some time ago.  They were very friendly guys so we had "open discussions."  They vehemently supported the positions that women should always wear veils in public and they should not be allowed to drive.  I always thought that only the uneducated would support such positions, but it seems to be rooted in culture.

Welcome back Chief. I would like to visit Egypt someday when it is not as dangerous as today.

Women should not drive. It is liberation to follow their husband's around as he visits his wimen dem. A guy who lived in Dubai told me dat.
