If you mean *moral* I might accept it - but in the context of a country's internal laws, I can't think of another more suitable equivalence. |

Re: Van Nguyen Execution
There is a thought provoking article in the 'Herald Sun'....the columnist is actually supporting Singapore's stance on the matter:

So what else can the reason be? Basically "you have done so this so we are going to kill you". No pal... its not you have done so this sso we are going to kill you... Its the law of land... Singaporian dont spare their own citizen... we are telling them to abide by our law... I was looking at the whole hype in TV... how a crimial is made God... a martyr.... what a reason to die... Drug trafficking... Australia and NZ shouted hooy hooy... Human Rights... not the rightway of execution... Why did not the shout at 999th execution made by US... Damn it its all Gimmick... Rest his soul in peace... Personally i feel bad for the outcome, but hes not right... and cant support his deed and our govt efforts and I am not with people to support him... So folks... dont carry even tables(2 even) to Asia... else you will be stripped.... -- Bart |

Re: Van Nguyen Execution
At the end of the day...the man went into a country - whose laws say that execution for drug trafficking is justified - with a **** load of heroin strapped to him.
Why should he be above the law?? He is a guest in another country...and should have respected their laws.........whether you agree with them or not. |

I wish they would do it - then they could all be fired and be made an example of. |
Re: Van Nguyen Execution
Can somenbody just send me an e-mail when this idiot has got his just deserts and been executed then I can crack a tinnie in celebration.
Then we can all forget about it until the next knob gets caught. |
