This country has experienced what could likely be the worst growing pains of any developing country in the modern era, while struggling to maintain its old traditions. Poor planning and other mistakes need to be corrected. That being said, the progress, especially for women, that I have seen in the five years I have lived here has been remarkable. It's hard for the outside world to see, but it is happening - not as fast as some would like, but it is happening.

The country needs massive changes and it needs them fast. There aren't enough jobs for the young and young unemployed are increasing every day.<br /><br />This is a solvable problem. The US was able to train massive amounts of women for defense work in the 1940's, but Saudi Arabia seems to be trying to walk on egg shells.<br /><br />If you have ever seen the old movie 'Sabrina' there is a scene in which the father is trying to take an olive out of a jar and is make little progress. Humphrey Bogart decised to smash the jar. Someone in Saudi Arabia needs to smash the jar.Jerry Mc Kennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395712495722374971noreply@blogger.com
