It isn’t easy being a king. Just ask Abdullah of Saudi. A few days ago he gave women the right to vote — some day soon perhaps. Then along comes some totally unreconstructed judge ordering 10 lashes for a pushy woman who actually drove a car. Very embarrassing for the King. So today, he revoked the sentence, according to a Twitter burst from a Saudi princess (of whom there are quite a few we hear). All well good. But frankly Abdullah the Reformer has a big chore before him in a zillion areas.
