On Wednesday this past week, a dust-filled sky turned to an astounding orange one just hours after another tiny tornado hit Kuwait. There were many residents wondering if at that moment Armageddon had arrived.

This is not a joke.
A friend at church got called about the phenomena and heard several serious queries about Armageddon and the signs of the end-of-time.
I suppose with the incessant talk of the possibility that Iran (and other states) might bring nuclear weapons to the Gulf is making people nervous. So, perhaps Cheney, Clinton, and cohorts should stop rattling their sabers so loudly about having a war on Iran in the neighborhood, too.
On a lighter note, elections are bringing out a lot of good reporting on Kuwait society and interesting editorials in the local press this month.
Badrya Darwish wrote an editorial making fun of one comment made by a female politician in her district, who "promised women voters that if she wins a seat in parliament, it will be a priority on her agenda to forbid Kuwaiti men from hiring beautiful housemaids."
Darwish admits that the candidate, Nawal Al-Muqaihit, was perhaps joking--but the local press hasn't been clear on the matter.
