    Beyond the effects it could have on Saudi Arabia’s image abroad, letting women drive could help the Saudi economyhttp://nyti.ms/2fxWcrL

        It is about time to cut #Saudi #Arabia's leaders some slack.They had to navigate through so many obstacles to allow women to drive. Mabrouk.

        History is being made by bringing Saudi women closer to equality. The King & govt just allowed something that was banned. A very good thing!

        It would be better if it was REAL female liberation. Sad that such a simple thing is "making history."

        Because it's not "incredible, " it's "welcome to the late 19th century. "

        By every measure, Saudi Arabia is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism on earth. Your emotions don't change that.
