Well it could be their incredibly inept, inconsistent and self interested foreign policies in general. Kuwait is a strategic ally, as is Uzbekistan. Both do not have exacly the best human rights records. The Yanks choose their friends according to their usefulness rather than any kind of guiding moral principles which might make the world a better, safer place. And they inflicted
Friends on us, the cruel b@stards.
EDIT: NB. As I understand it women activists have long been campaigning for the vote, in Kuwait so let's not be giving the Yanks too much credit anyway! But fair dos - they supported the reform. Now if they can just stop El Presidente recruiting and promoting his relatives within govt, get him to repeal the death penalty, free the remaining prisoners held since Gulf War One despite not having had fair trials.......
