Yet somehow I am sure that some people will twist this into some evil diabolical scheme, with half-baked conspiracy theories. Because having kuwaiti women vote will benefit America, of course...
You are very cynical man, Mr. Punky! Don't think you'll find many of us objecting to Kuwaiti women getting the vote. But there are other issues: http://web.amnesty.org/report2004/kwt-summary-eng . There's been progress but still some fairly major obstacles to a democratic society (even one as inept as ours).
