[Trust but Verify]

I guess I object to the many people here who have never been to Aruba and other places they characterize as 'third world hellholes' based on the case of one missing and presumably dead American tourist. If you take this attitude to it's logical conclusion, then the US is also a third world hellhole since tourists from other countries have been murdered here.

I appreciate your olive branch gesture, I've been around here a very long time.

Thanks you for the response. What incites me is that 1. This is an American girl. 2.We will not see the justice as it should be applied. 3. The three perps in the beginning of the whole charade are blowing smoke for their nostrils in what they did.4.These little caribbean islands politicos are bought and paid for by the high roller elitist crimials. 5.Aruba is like a one-eyed jack to most people. They only see through a tunnel vision of the nice side amenities and not the actual down to earth reality. Yes, there were some foreign tourists murdered down in Florida some years backs. I hope the perps responsible did or will receive the "sleeping murderer" injection. Many metro-areas are crime ridden here in the USA due to liberalism, poor choices in weak Police Chiefs, Civic leaders and sub-standard recruiting of law enforcement officers.8 years of a do nothing commie-draft-dodging x42 with far left morals and doctrine did not help matters in America. The bottom line here, is that if it were your daughter,I would feel the same way about bringing all these perps to justice(dirt nap) or we make Aruba pay by the economic pocket book in their tourism industry. Believe me when you turn the screws and they all feel the pain, results start to happen. Remember how President Reagan handled Libya? "Power perceived is Power achieved". I hope you took the olive branch from my extended internet hand. P.S. I like your handle, President Reagan was our greatest President. NSNR
