Gillian Gibbons, the British schoolteacher at the centre of the Sudanese teddy bear row has been pardoned by the president of Sudan after meeting with two British Muslim peers.While I am overjoyed that Mrs. Gibbons is safe and well, I am also disgusted that it happened because Britain tacitly acknowledged that mere Khaffirs are unworthy to make petition to so exalted a figure as the head of a state usually in the news for one of the worst cases of genocide in recent years.
Update: In related news, a British children's author has "got the message."
