No matter how extreme 140 lashes for such a crime is, (it is 140 from what i heard on BBC i think), it is the law of that country and she broke it. Now we might not agree with it but i am sure that no matter what country we are from foreigners most likely don't agree with some of our laws as well. She chose to go to that country and as such should have been aware of the laws. Before i came to the U.S. i familiarized myself with some of its more peculiar laws and its consequences. For example Most of not all European countries do not have the death penalty for murder while the U.S. does. We see that as extreme but it is the law of the land and even if said law is thought to be wrong it nonetheless is the law and should not be broken if you do not want the consequences.

Yeah there are plenty of F'd up American laws. Death Penalty and the lax laws on guns come to mind. Then there's that whole patriot act which stripped everyone of their rights. The U.S. is being run by dictatorship which is just as bad as these middle eastern countries and the people are so naive they don't even realize it.

America! Get back out of the Middle Ages, the 2000's are calling for you! ;)

If there is a state of emergency called at the end of Bush's term...  Ugh...
