Facing Their Last Moments With A Smile: The Chinese Women About To Be Executed For Drug Smuggling By RICK DEWSBURY 4th December 2011

[Pics in URL] A young woman sits cross-legged on the ground laughing playfully as she is fed a lychee. Another plays cards in pair of baggy pink pyjamas.

The moving images could show any group of young women as they go about their daily lives in prison. But just hours - and in some cases minutes - after the pictures were taken, each of the four women were led into a concrete yard and executed.

I'm not stupid enough to think that drugs would be much of a problem if we sealed our borders and fought the use of them like we fought the Germans in WWII or the Iraqis in 1991.

And therein lies your problem. You have to destroy liberty to "save" it.

You may get your wish on that - and on national healthcare mandates and on fighting copyright piracy by shutting down the internet, and on protecting endangered species, on cutting back greenhouse gas, regulating your diet etc.

It is not that I am for drugs. I am against the government that would be able to do what you want because it will do the same for every other thing unless maybe you were "benevolent" dictator. You don't get to decide what is done with the power.

Funny....hackers are the ones who need to be executed.....and I dont think China has that many bullets.

[little jeremiah]

Most Chinese hackers work for the Chinese government.

This is why it is so terribly important that they be Christianized ~ so that they can have a conscience ~ and learn to counsel their own behavior and devise real governments with laws that mean something, and courts that are competent.

How are we doing with that......................................

There are mixed results ~ maybe 300,000,000 Christians now ~ maybe 500,000,000.

it's happening.

Red China and Islam are serious about fighting a “War on Drugs”; we say we are (and fund said war as though we are), but we’re really not.

Even broken clocks are right twice a day.

[dcwusmc]

So we should emulate the ChiComs? Boy do you have the wrong screen name.

[solzhenitsyn]

I’d be less appalled by the execution of these women if I knew they were actually guilty. They didn’t have the legal rights and protections that we’re blessed with. In some countries, criminal trials are very brief and perfunctory, and no one is acquitted.

Whatever their sins, I salute the dignity and courage of these young women as they faced death. I’m so glad that we live in a far better place, and I’m thankful for the courage of our patriots.

Please point out just exactly where the Constitution grants government the authority to outlaw the possession and/or ingestion of ANYTHING. Commerce clause doesn’t count. General welfare clause doesn’t count. It’s a goal, not a grant of authority. Start by reading the Tenth Amendment. Also read the Declaration of Independence. Declaring war on the American People is NOT a conservative value.

[DainBramage]

That was my point.

[little jeremiah]

I thought you were saying the ChiCom gov should execute them!

[JustSayNoToNannies]

Red China and Islam are serious about fighting a “War on Drugs”

And yet they still have drug problems, with none of the freedoms we enjoy. What does that tell us about the wisdom of pursuing a War On Drugs?

[kearnyirish2]

Their drug problems are nothing compared to ours.

[JustSayNoToNannies]

Their freedoms are nothing compared to ours.

[kearnyirish2]

“Their freedoms are nothing compared to ours.”

I concur.
