There are moments in time that change the world. Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 was one of those. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 was another as was 9 November 1989, when the wall in Berlin, Germany, erected by the Soviets, was torn down. And you have witnessed another one today,...

The Kingdom is hardly a bastion of women's rights. Earlier this year, it was reported that FIFA was pursuing a sponsorship deal with the Saudi Arabian government's tourist promotion arm, Visit Saudi, to use the Women's World Cup as a vehicle to promote tourism to the fundamentalist Islamic kingdom.
