What's "amiss" down there is they don't do things in their justice system the way we do...and they are VERY proud of it.

This should be a profound lesson for any parent who is even thinking of sending their teenager out of this country on vacation to Aruba.

That newspaper smirking puppet spokesperson, Julia, can try and laugh it off as an "isolated" incident, but that is no excuse for keeping Natalee's parents in the dark, all in the taunting name of "that's the way we do things here". How backward is that? It's beyond cruel.

Aruba should understand that we have beautiful beaches in this country. (Gulf Shores Alabama comes to mind.) We don't need theirs. When our youth groups are planning a vacation, there will be more than one parent who will recall how Aruba "does things their own way".. and strongly recommend they take their business elsewhere. American's aren't as stupid as they think we are.

We have a way of doing things ourselves and they are NOT going to like it.

END OF RANT...

Well, for a little perspective. One maybe two Americans missing down there.

I wonder how many unsolved beach killings or disappearances of girls we have here.

We do investigate but not all out in all cases.

I don't like the arubans dissing us and our FBI as cowboys.

Oh my....how totally I agree with you! No country, no matter what the "laws" are should treat the parents of a missing child as Natalee's parents are being treated. Laws may be different. But HUMANS and PARENTS should be given the same consideration and respect for such a situation no matter where they are. In that aspect we are not different.

And rant all you want. This is a very rant-worthy tragedy.
