I think it is sad that there are still countries who practise such cruel sentences, and i think it sad that the women seem to have been singled out for punishment, but there was "insufficient evidence" against the men, and I feel sad that the trial was such a travesty of justice, conducted in a language they did not understand, with no interpreter.

How would you imagine I would react?

I would certainly hope so. it seems that they are alerted to it, so we can only hope....but it's not just about tackling this case. it's about the re-education of an entire nation, with different customs and points of View. And what works well in one country may not so readily and easily be accepted and adopted by another. Look at America's intention to establish a democracy in Iraq.... I can see their point, but Iraq is a country that has never known such a method of government, and it is demonstrably difficult to convince them of it's efficacy, especially when you look at democratic countries and all the problems they still have, even within such a practise....

I think that UN has no powers to dictate to sovereign nations. Same thing happens in Pakistan, Saudi quite regularly. We are helpless.
Let us discuss more about it. Pakistan allows honor rapes. US supplies arms and aid to it. All democracies worry about themselves, but are not worried at all about human conditions in the countries they find useful.

It's all down to power, false national Pride and money.

Not necessarily in that order.

We've been here before, haven't we....?
