Don’t hand your child a loaded gun
IT was a historic trip for me! I would have declared: “That’s one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind.”Wait! It wasn’t a Mars landing, or anything near that. But for those waiting for such a train trip to Madinah for ages, it seems so. Thankfully, I was among few hundreds invited to test ride a high-speed electric train from King Abdullah Economic City to the Prophet City. Others had joined Prince Faisal Bin Salman, Madinah Governor, in a longer journey between the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, via the yet-unfinished Jeddah station. From Jeddah, a third trip was led by Makkah Governor Prince Khaled Al-Faisal.It was an amazing experience for all of us. It wasn’t like the first time we traveled in a high-speed train.

Getting my point across
HOW hard is it for a mature leadership to understand a clear message, especially if it comes with a bang? How about a double, triple... and more, in a short span of time?Only recently, the world has sent too many messages to Iran, that could easily be included in a book titled: “The Way Out for Dummies!”The idea here, is that some weird heads in Tehran need 101 lessons to help them fathom the cost of intervention in the Arab world, and to provide them with the best ways to exit.These leaders have put their country in a self-made quagmire so deep and sticky that it looks like they might use a good advice to get out of it.
