"You know,, women are now very active in the Kuwaiti parliament." - george w. bush

Uh, in a word, "Wrong." No woman has ever been elected to the Kuwaiti parliament. It was illegal for women to even vote in Kuwait until a law was passed, by the all-male parliament, in 2005 granting women the right to vote. About 10% of the candidates for seats in the 2006 election (27 out of 249, running for 50 seats) were women. None won.

Right, but you need to find out just what Bush meant by the word "active." He might think it means "shut out of."
