RIYADH, Saudi Arabia � A candidate in groundbreaking elections beginning here today has a plan to reduce the kingdom's dependence on foreign labor, but it may be too radical for most of his countrymen: letting women drive.

No or at least very few women in Saudi Arabia use the Burka.
But it's good to see some sensible candidates running for office.
