Its not my Aruba...but I am just amused by the incensant calls for a boycott...it is the pot calling the kettle black....remember Chandra Levy? How long did it take to find her body and solve that crime?

The bottom line is that if you are going to travel to a foreign country...any foreign country...you have to expect that you will be subject to their laws, rules and procedures.

It seems that your comments on this thread resemble a lawyer's acting on behalf of his client (Aruba).

The bottom line is that if you are going to travel to a foreign country...any foreign country...you have to expect that you will be subject to their laws, rules and procedures.

The bottom line is that I prefer to make other countries safe for Americans (who are not criminals) by making it so onerous on those other countries when Americans are harmed that the country actively promotes and defends the safety of American visitors, and thereby by extension all other people of good will within its borders.

Otherwise we may as well quarantine those countries as if they had a terminal disease.

You've just got to stop making so much sense. Strikes me as odd, too, that there is such an outcry over the justice system in Aruba. It ain't America, folks. Stay away because of that, not to "punish" the people whose lives depend on tourism.

No one is saying we are not subject to their laws. If you have followed this case from the start, it is very to easy to see collusion an obstruction.

We as Americans have the right to be outraged and to call for action of a boycott against the tranquil palm trees, the emerald ocean, the pristine sandy beaches, and their debacle of a criminal investigation into the death of an American. NSNR
