16. I don't know, are we really in a position to tell people that they
should respect our laws, considering what a lawless nation we are? Do you eg, think that the several, I'm losing count, countries we have illegally invaded, violating their laws AND raping and torturing their citizens, not to mention killing them, might, feel the same way about us?

Have you seen the demonstrations in Iraq, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, peaceful mostly, demanding that since we have so destroyed their countries, broken so many laws, international and local, we get out and stay our of their countries?

Have the French dropped any white phospherous in any of our suburbs lately, or tortured any of our citizens?

As for the case you are speaking of, we know nothing about the guilt or innocence of that person yet.

We are probably one of the most hypocritical and arrogant nations on eart right now. NOT in a position to talk about 'respecting laws'! A lawless society like this, really should not even whisper the word 'law' together with the word 'respect'.
