KHOG. You have to get the irony of that one!
The fresh prospects of a new tyrant. :)
Dead scum is seldom missed.
Having spent the last 2.5 years in the Kingdom as an architect, the word is that the reign of King Salman will not be a long one. He has suffered a major stroke already and is reported suffering from the onset of dementia. The greater question is how quickly the next generation of Princes can take the reins of governance. The current generation of the brothers of King Abdullah are almost extinct. The next generation will be in their 60’s and considerably less rigid, more Westernized and better educated. The US needs to speed the transition to this generation while maintaining the understanding that there are considerable forces of regression (fundamentalism) still deeply imbedded in Saudi society.
I know they have a successor named, but it sure would be a shame if a few hundred of the princes killed each other off fighting for the throne...
Well, he won’t be remembered as “Father of the Year”. Are these women free yet?
“Saudi princesses plead for freedom”
Four of King Abdullah’s daughters are said to have been held in captivity for 13 years in the royal palace compound in Jeddah
