Code Pink speaks for Canada! 

Sometimes, the anti-defense demonstrators crack me up. I loved this passage from an article about the visit of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the White House:
Outside the White House, a group of women, part of the Code Pink anti-war group, chanted "Canadians don't want war."

No Canadians were among them, but Californian Toby Blome said she had it on good authority that the majority north of the border backed Americans who wanted an early pullout from Iraq.

Asked how she felt about Canadian troops fighting under U.S. command in Afghanistan, she said: "We're not happy about that."

I just may organize a bunch of right wing friends and demonstrate outside Saudi Arabia's embassy. Let's see, what should we chant? "Saudis women want to drive! Saudi women want to drive!" Because, even though I know no Saudi women, I have it on good authority that, in fact, they want to drive.

Great news! If the Canadian's are against the war, you can bet that they won't vote for Republicans in the next election!

Just a comment on your example..which is a good comeback

I worked on King Fahd International Airport during it's construction.

Women in Saudi Arabia do not drive, they have people that do that for them. Just like every daily task you can think of.

It is the ultimate extension of the guest worker concept.

Besides that, the thought of a woman in a full burka, ie head to toe coverage with no eye holes for vision, is not my idea of the perfect driver.
