This was a positive point of George W Bush. It pressurised Saudi Arabia to behave, give women's rights which is so much stressed in Islam that the girl when born is called a Rehmat - a blessing and the boy only a Nemat - a good thing. With stress on democracy Saudi Arabia would have shown some tolerance to other sects in Islam other than their Wahabism and at least would have allowed Quran translation in their country other than their approved version, now Obama has taken pressure off them and has indirectly helped Talibanization. Saudi Arabia backs Taliban and Obama ultimately if he turns a Muslim will be a Taliban or Taliban inclined and then openly will turn enemy of Iran and to a lesser extent of Pakistan and he cannot be trusted. He is a powerful speaker though. We must remember George W Bush is the initiator of the anti Taliban and the anti Alqaeda policy and not Obama and this anti Taliban trend has caught up late in Pakistan after they had already done a lot of damage to the country.
