Via Weasel Zippers, your wave the flag, feel good story of the day:

  

"An off-duty U.S. navy sailor wrestled a Dubai bus driver to the ground and beat him into submission after he tried to rape her at knifepoint on Jan. 19, a courtroom heard Wednesday.

The woman, 28, was on 24-hour shore leave in Dubai when she was attacked by a bus driver after he picked her up from the Mall of the Emirates shopping center."

“I noticed he did not take the main road and when I asked him he told me not to worry,” she said, according to the Daily Mail.

He then stopped where several other buses were parked and tried to kiss her. After she refused, he pulled out a knife and tried to rape her."

And the best part:

Prosecutors said that she knocked the knife from his hand, broke it in two, bit him in the hand, forced him to the ground and locked him between her thighs, the Daily Mail reports.

God bless our tough as nails but apparently irresistibly attractive American servicewomen.

However, keep in mind that the poor local women living in Muslim societies have to live with this kind of treatment, or the real threat of it, every single day.

Of course, this is the sort of moral direction that the Muslim men are getting from their clerics, so I suppose this bus driver's attitude shouldn't be so surprising.
