Exclude us from Ms. World pageant.

Offer political asylum to Jacko.

Sanction U.S. exports...allowing us to avoid their import duties and employ our criminal class.

Prohibit exibition of European films in the U.S.

Here is the full article.

The men whose executions have temporarily been barred are Cesar Fierro, Roberto Ramos and Osvaldo Torres Aguilera. Fiero and Ramos have exhausted their U.S. appeals and their dates of execution are to be scheduled soon.

OK, how about Monday, February 10, 2003 at 0800 for every damn one of them.
