The problems in the Middle East continue.

As the Middle East is riddled with problems we often see sad stories that come out of the Middle East, this is one of those stories. On November 29 where a woman in Riyadh
was stopped and arrested for driving thought the capital. While her and her friend were driving through the capital doing some groceries and getting gas someone called the police, and they stopped them. After they forced the girls to sign a contract that they will not drive again. At the police station the police asked her to call her male guardian and she told them that she was her own guardian, but he was called against her will. The woman's name is Aziza al Yousef
 and he is a woman's rights activist in Saudi Arabia and had just a week before spoken with the prince about the rights of women in the country, had then had her rights completely disregarded. What i have to think about this whole scenario is that people are terrible people sometimes. Most country's that have strict laws for the woman often focus heavily on old traditions and beliefs. What i have to think is that is that people need change, stagnation is not good in any situation. people need change or evolution. Those are my thoughts on this.
