Posted on January 13, 2012 by American Bedu

Posted on August 7, 2011 by American Bedu

    There remains much talk about the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.  I’ve had a number of folks tell me they really do not believe bin Laden was killed in the raid.  Some even claim he had died much earlier than the raid but the pretext that he was still alive [...]

Saudi Arabia: Can A Woman Have it All?

Posted on July 21, 2011 by American Bedu

  My age and generation are showing.  I would much prefer to have it all – husband, marriage, children and career!  But is that also because I was born and raised in the West where it is expected and anticipated that all is attainable?  A recent Arab News poll indicated that many Saudi women would [...]
