TIM BLAIR HAS A LINK TO A STORY TODAY on the Kuwaiti parliament's decision to give women the right to vote.
"We made it. This is history," prominent activist Roula al-Dashti told reporters. "Our target is the parliamentary polls in 2007. I'm starting my campaign from today."
Outside parliament, people danced and cheered, passing drivers sounded their horns in support and fireworks lit the sky.
This marks yet another victory for freedom and democracy in the Middle East that liberals will pretend did not happen, because to do so might cost them power in the long run. Better to ignore them all together than to be perceived as celebrating anything that may have derived from the Bush administration's foreign policy.
