When worlds collide

Today’s Denver Post runs a great column by David Harsanyi on the expedition of Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to Saudi Arabia: “Saudis need a mirror to see injustice.” Suthers was dispatched by the State Department to soothe Saudi sensibilties inflamed over the conviction and sentencing of Homaidan Al-Turki — a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Colorad at Boulder — for keeping his Indonesian maid a sex slave. Harsanyi’s column seethes with righteous indignation and implicates issues of Islam, multiculturalism, immigration and diplomacy. Don’t miss this one.
