Default Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists

Following up to David Horne, _the_ chancellor of the duchy of
besses o' th' barn and prestwich tesco 24h offy

Isn't it interesting that the countries with the largest oil reserves
are the ones that are planning for a future without oil, while the rest
of the world blunders onwards as if there were tomorrow.


Saudi tourism as 'planning for the future'- this in a country which
still can't decide whether or not to allow women to sell women's
underwear to other women? Yeah, right.


Seems to me the rest of the world is looking for oil alternatives
and trying them out while the Saudis have barely woken up to not
training medieval religious fanatics.
