I do not know much about this tragic story, but it underscores a very important lesson. NOT every country in the world is the good ole’ USA. Foreign countries could not care less who you are, how innocent a victim you may be, and how ignorant you were of the fact that you were committing a crime. It is their playground and they make the rules, and if you think they are democratic about it, think again. Anyone see “Midnight Express?” These boys may well have been innocent victims of a nefarious drug dealer who used their naivete. But that makes no difference in the real world. Other countries are so harsh in their dealings with drug pushers, that it boggles the mind that anyone would be that stupid as to get invovled. Maybe the USA could learn a thing or two, and we might not have such a drug problem here. (I absolutely do NOT condone the violence, however).
