TV anchorwoman Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kuwait
several years before the Gulf War. She noted that women customarily
walked about 10 feet behind their husbands.
In a follow-up story, she returned to Kuwait recently and observed that
men now walked several yards behind their wives.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Kuwaiti women and said, "This is
marvelous! Can you tell the free world just what it was that enabled
women here to achieve this total reversal of roles?"
"Land mines," replied the woman.
