Op-Ed Contributor: The Prince and the Ayatollah
International Herald Tribune Tuesday 1st May, 2012

Like everybody else, including some of the Bahraini policemen I later spoke with, I was appalled at the violence and thought the monarchy had blood on its hands. But I felt that declining the offer was irresponsible.
