Friend of American Hikers Detained in Iran Speaks Out

Please tell me that you really didn't by into the idea that they didn't know they crossed the border. Vacation?? Who in the heck vactions near a country that wants to kill the infidels,hate Anerican with a passion as well as Isreal. They knew where and what they were doing, they'll have their "15 minutes of fame" write a book and laugh all the way to the bank. Where do we get off telling another country what to do when a non-citizen breaks their laws? Remember when a coupe of young "adults" spray painted vehicles in the Philippines, they got their bottoms caned, and oh how we rambled on how barbaric it was, well when you break the laws in other countries you have to do their punishment. Don't like the way thing are done then either don't go there or grow-up and respect the laws of the land of other countries, and the consequence thereof. We sure in the heck don't like "others" telling us to change our laws to fit them do we?

The Phillipines doesn't practice caning.

An unjust law is unjust regardless of the location. Countries which practice severe punishments such as caning, cutting off limbs, 20-year sentences for accessory to drug delivery are always repressive countries, employing these things to maintain political power
