Those are just as barbaric acts as hanging someone over drugtraficking from my point of view. ~

If I entered Saudi Arabia knowingly that my hands will be lopped off for stealing, and still steal anyway, then I was a damned fool for deciding to steal in the first place.

"Caution, Minefield
Do Not Enter"

Do you still then blissfully stroll across?!?! Is it wise to dip your bare hands into an acid vat just because there is a diamond at the bottom?

Not approving of another country's law is one thing, everybody has their own opinions, but expecting said country to disregard their own laws just because they do not coincide with another country's laws is also not in good taste, in my personal opinion.

For all I care, the protestors can scream, threathen, swear holy fire and vengence, but the law, our law, will not be compromised. When we read of our own being hanged in other countries, too bad, so sad, they made the wrong choice.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. [/QUOTE]Phew, I'm glad there are a few here that see things the way I do
