Bedoun cheats disabled Kuwaiti girl

from arab times kuwait

aka PC Craze Yet to Hit the Gulf:

Kuwait : A bedoun youth has been arrested for cheating a physically handicapped Kuwaiti girl, reports Al-Watan daily.
According to a security source the suspect was caught loitering in the reception area of the Amiri Hospital. When the hospital administration confronted him, he said he was waiting for his girlfriend.

He also said his girlfriend was bringing money with her to help him go to a private clinic because he had reportedly told her that he is very sick and could no longer wait for his turn at the hospital.

However, when the girl arrived she was shocked to learn the youth who had promised to marry her is not a Kuwaiti but a bedoun. He also turned out to be a cheat.

Best if Israelis take out N-Iran
KUWAIT CITY, March 9, (Agencies): The destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities would be in the interest of the Arab nations in the Gulf, and it would be “less embarrassing” if it was done by Israel rather than the US, a top Kuwaiti strategist said in remarks published Sunday. Officially Kuwait, like the other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, wants a peaceful solution to the nuclear standoff between Tehran and the West and will not allow the US to use its territories for any attack on Iran. But when asked in an interview with the daily Al-Seyassah about the consequences of an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear reactors, analyst and former government adviser Sami Al-Faraj said it would not be such a bad thing.

“Honestly speaking, they would be achieving something of great strategic value for the GCC by stopping Iran’s tendency for hegemony over the area,” he said, adding that “nipping it in the bud by Israeli hands would be less embarrassing for us” than if the Americans did it. Al-Faraj said Tehran was interfering in Iraq, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories, and inciting strife between Sunnis and Shiites. “The question is what would it do if it were a nuclear nation? We have to call a spade a spade and say that burying the military nuclear Iranian project is in the interest of GCC states,” and other countries in the area, added al-Faraj, who heads the independent Kuwait Center for Strategy Studies.
Tehran has denied it is seeking nuclear weapons and insists its program is for peaceful purposes.
