Jon,

Let me give you another example:

A 15 year old boy picks up a rock and throws it right through your living room window intentionally breaking the glass. In most States and Provinces in the U.S. and Canada, the boy cannot be charged or held accountable for his action because he is a juvenile. Our courts, unfortunately, have deemed that such juveniles cannot be charged because they "supposedly" cannot comprehend the gravity of their action.

Therefore, a 15 yr old doesn't understand that it is wrong to break someone else's property. Yet you suggest that a 6 year old can comprehend all the implications surrounding a request for political asylum.

Are you giving too much credit to the capacity for understanding to a 6 year old, or are the 15 year olds taking the courts for a ride???
