"DUBAI, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Iraq's Interior Minister directed a fresh attack on Saudi Arabia in an interview aired on Tuesday, targeting the kingdom for its treatment of women and Shi'ites just days after insulting a royal as a "bedouin on a camel".
"(They should) create a democratic system and give freedoms, and not grant rights in just dribs and drabs, saying that maybe a woman can drive a car but she can only work within limits in the workplace," Bayan Jabor told Al Jazeera television.
"We call for democracy and freedom in all the Arab nation," the outspoken Shi'ite minister said, accusing Riyadh of treating its Shi'ite minority as second class citizens."

I think he should worry about the democracy in Iraq first, if that succeeds it will be the best chance for the region. But it has to succeed in Iraq first, set the example. Show the rest of the Arab world that the different sects can live, work, and
rule together. That will send a message louder than any words, and deadlier to despots than the biggest car bomb, and craziest suicide bombers.
