The head gears are a ridiculous and troblesome items. Every saudi consider himself as a king and so the oreders of the king are not respected let alone are implemented. There is no defined rule that has to be made mandatory on every position at every level. If the head of the organisation has to take a decission,he must take it without askning the lower level people when it comes to policy matter and it's implementaiton. If the lowe level people don't implement the orders coming form the top,then they must be punished and removed.This is not the case in Saudi Arabia. Thank you If you see a plant of any kind like mangoe or banana or olives with it’s leaves in yellow colour and falling down,then you must treat this plant immediately.The treatment shopuld be given to the roots not the leaves.

No Shias yet though, but still a major step forward. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/02/14/66444.html (Arabic) Just heard the news (I was *busy* last night).
