You have clearly never left Canadian thinking to embrace US ideals.
This is about whether everyone is equal under the law.

She is the same as anyone else.

Period.

No special treatment a local plumber or insurance agent wouldn’t get.

You want something different to be the case in the US then Democratic Underground not Free Republic is the site for you. Maybe you could try Daily Kos.

No special treatment in the US for certain individuals based on status?

LOL. Look up the recent legal context of the word, ‘affluenza’.

I guess you didn't read my post, I was not defending her and, as far as I am concerned, the US can treat diplomats from other countries any way they want. But no matter, the cogency and strength of your arguments have won me over.

No special treatment for anyone. Hang her from the yardarm and damn the consequences. If America is left with no friends in the world, so be it. If US-Indian relations are set back for fifty years, at least the world will know America stands for equal treatment under the law.

Are you sure you aren't working this case for the State Department? Do you not see a bigger issue here? Do you really think that telling someone to post on another site is a winning argument? Do you know anything about "Canadian thinking" or are you just throwing random thoughts into the ether? Do you think the State Department treats all diplomats equally? Have you thought about this case at all?

the thing is that arresting is fine. you don’t treat a diplomat to strip searches and handcuffs. It could have been done nice and quiet, not this way. No US govt would stand for it’s diplomat staff being treated that way (strip searched) in a foreign land.
