Not sure where to let you know of this, but I thought this was a fine example of multiculturalism in the UK:

The judge said "In this country the feeding of a child in this way, against its will, is wrong and dangerous". I notice he did not say this as an absolute - just in the UK it's wrong. We still have a long way to go.
Also this case was largely ignored by liberals, who as we know like to think of multiculturalism as a simply a matter of different cuisines.
Most Americans I know (of any given political party) do not view Obama as a man of substance, but rather a representative of a greater agenda. In this any puppet could fill Obama's roll as long as they toed the party line.
Most Americans view Netanyahu as a man of substance and that he is actually in charge of his nation, rather than simply acting out a part in a political agenda.
