While they talk a sharp game of Western education, do not be fooled. I am continually shocked when I meet someone who was educated at Cambridge, but he (and she!) tell me that a women's status in Saudi Arabia is right. Or that a barbaric punishment is proper and correct as it is written in the Quran.

Many of the Saudis who would take a different opinion on women's rights etc, do not live in KSA.

Here in this country we had some guys that went to Yale and managed to get control of the government and felt they had the right to torture people in secret prison camps.

Happens I guess.
