Saudi Arabia bans women

As most people know women are banned from driving in Saudi Arabia. Now public libraries are starting to ban women from entering them in Saudi Arabia. Is this really a country that Americans want to visit and do business with as a U.S. ally?

So? Maybe you should go to Saudi Arabia and form a feminist group and have them march on Riyadh!

Saudi is a big ally to us (or we're a big puppet to them).
Saudi can do no wrong so just move on and forget you read that.

I think the OP is trying to understand why American women are not outraged about this. His answer comes from the ever incisive Pat Condell:
