Yes, Aruba has the Holloways by the throat.

This is why it is appropriate to boycott Aruba.

We are simply using the free market to exert influence.

I have no problem using our only tactic - boycott Aruba. I visited Aruba many years ago and have no intention of returning. If I was a visitor there and needed their help for anything, I see where their allegiance lies. Natives telling Beth to "go home, this isn't America". Her daughter is missing, and they interpret it as if she is the problem. Great mindset! Of course, those demonstrators could have been bought off - doesn't matter all the in's and out's - I choose no association.

Who would want to be on an island where a government spokesman says he has no knowledge of a 'beheading' of a citizen in his country a few months earlier. Am I to believe he walks around with his head in the sand or believe that he doesn't want the evilness that is rampant in Aruba exposed. All the fun/sun/sand in Aruba could never cover it up for me. But they try, unfortunately, at Natalee's/the Holloway's/Twitty's expense.

Others have different opinions. Boycott or not - it doesn't matter to me, I choose to make wise decisions for myself.
