Finally, Reason

Angela Winters, a black moderate blogger, argues that at least someone in the Sudan has come to their senses about the teddy bear row: "Sudan frees Briton in teddy row - CNN.com. I think this is completely due to pressure from the West. It's a sad thing because they lost a teacher that was devoted enough to teaching to leave her own country and come to one that is not the safest in the world. Not just her, but how many people who were considering going to Sudan to teach aren't now? Seriously, if you can be jailed and have thousands (and there were tens of thousands) of people swinging machetes and calling for your execution over naming a teddy bear, I would be afraid to open my mouth about anything."
