Ok, so when those guys are here, do we make them take off their turbans, or whatever they are, and dress like us?? No we don’t. O can dress up all silly like he did in Indo and China and what not, but she ain’t having it.
I get your point. But it's different because dress isn't restricted in the US. Where it is...do we allow sunbathers to go nude because it's okay where they're from? etc
Early on, I often praised Michelle for returning the dress to fashion. It's much more common now for girls and woman to choose styles which make them look feminine without looking trampy. That's a good thing.
But there are some cultural rules. You don't dress to offend unless you're a rebellious kid or an attention grabbing media hog.
The problem isn't that Michelle didn't wear a veil, which is a choice that's within bounds. The problem is that it's a somber event, expressing condolences on the death of a king. It's no place to be wearing a clown suit.
I'm pretty disgusted that they're there at all, supporting a kingdom that beheads people, enables terrorists as long as their attacks are outside Saudi borders and has no human rights. Refusing to attend would be a very fine statement.
As far as dress, think back to Mariam Yehya, that freed Sudanese woman and the way she dressed to visit the Pope. Amazing that a woman just freed from a Somali jail had more class in her dress when visiting the Pope and other times in the public than our First Lady and her daughters often exhibit.
