And he didn`t fail because of his own stubbern backwards views. He failed because of the public opinion against such a decision.
It scares me that the saudi population is eaven more backwards and stupid, than a royal family which is notorious for having views - only aceptabel in a medieval world.
But jet, what can one expect:

I have family that live in Saudi (for work) they came back one time, on the plane an Arab sitting next to them said in Arabic "I REFUSE TO SIT NEXT TO THIS WESTERN WHORE!" Pretty much sums up their views on women (and their stupidity in thinking they couldn't speak or understand Arabic).
