I think we should show some respect towards the Mexican government. Remember when that American kid, Michael Fay, was sentenced in Singapore to six forceful application of a cane to his exposed buttocks? Remember when President Clinton requested leniency and the Singapore court reduced Fay's punishment to four applications out of respect to the US presideent? Don't you think the civilized thing to do would be for Gov. Perry to offer the concerns of the Mexican government and the world court some sort of respect too?
I suggest, as a nod of respect to our national friends and neighbors in Mexico - and to show respect for the world court, that the governor offer to eliminate Sodium thiopental from the lethal drug cocktail usually administered to the condemned.
We must show the world that the USA, and especially Texas, can be diplomatic and sensitive to the international community. It's the right thing to do.
