The total average annual sum spent by Saudi Arabia’s government on each female student is estimated to be between $35,000-45,000 a year. Looking at the figures released by the Ministry of Higher Education, which shows that women represent 26 percent of the number of students studying abroad, this means that Saudi Arabia has spent in excess of $50 million on women’s overseas education during the last 10 years.
So call it $40k per female student. That's $50m/$40k = 1250 students over ten years, or 125 per year. BFD (and I don't mean Boston Fire Department).
We screwed up the first Gulf War. Saddam should have been given a free pass to conquer Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as long as oil remained cheap and no nukes were being developed. That should have been the deal. No boots on the ground! No coffins at Andrews!
But imagine videos of the Saudi religious police being fed thru wood chippers for defying Saddam!

Maybe this is something that we can encourage the Kurds to do.
Dear Kurdish people, if you take over Saudi Arabia and wipe out the wahhabi clerics the vast majority of the American public will be on your side.
