What about the practice of "temporary marriages" (several days in length) that is expressed in Iran and elsewhere? This provides a venue for these men to "try out the goods" of their partners with the blessing of the clerics' dictates to the masses. Sounds like cop outs to me.

I was attending a U. S. Navy school in San Diego years ago. Also going to school was a group of Saudi Arabian navy guys. They "prayed toward Mecca," and wore their robes and head rags twice a week. But every night they were going crazy out in town. They were a bunch of obnoxious drunks who tried to bed anything alive and female, and most of them had their main mama...the bigger she was, the better, it seemed to us at the time. Or maybe it was that nice looking girls would have nothing to do with these rich, egotistical hypocrites who really thought they were irresistible to women. They rarely took showers, but they doused themselves with strong cologne; you could smell their car before you saw it. I'm not making this up...we all looked at these guys as we would a group of immature perverts whose behavior worsened the more they drank. No wonder they can't operate the simplest piece of equipment back in Saudi, but need an American to sit down in their chairs in wartime.

How refreshing to see that the next country we are planning to invade has the same kind of "Do as we say, not as we do" leadership as our own country.
Ricky, Richmond, VA
Interesting - I wonder, will he be lashed or stoned or tortured or hung or set on fire or be subject of another form of "honour killing"? Or is that the treatment which is very kindly reserved solely for women?
And tell me, if prostitution is punishable by death, what 's the punishment for soliciting a prostitute? Slap on the wrist, is it?
Who's he upset, I wonder, as I'm sure that this wasn't his first visit....
