Saudi Grlz!
This is hilarious. We definitely "need more like this, please." Any society in which the presence of a 12 year-old girl can shut down a soccer match is in desperate need of reform. If democracy must come from the nozzle of a pepper spray cannister, so be it.

I hate to sound cynical but I very much suspect that the girls were some very influential family brats, otherwise they wouldn't be "escorted and gently admonished" but beaten with sticks.
So any talk of Democracy might be premature.

'Democracy' and 'social change' are not the same thing. Those same girls could walk about dressed more or less however they like in Damascus, for instance, or perhaps Dubai.
