I agree its wrong. When I see somebody stealing - or worse - in a big way I still believe its my duty to do my best to stop it by at least reporting it. Ted, do me a favor, read exactly what I wrote and don't try to read between the lines - or worse - my thoughts. I expressed my opinion, no more and no less. As for the Danes I don't give a hoot. "Something is rotten in that state" as at least The Bart (not Simpson, my friend...) once said. Taro

In you own life, if you see something absolutely wrong, but it is not harming you directly, surely you make some effort to correct it, don't you? We are not talking about citizens in the same country. We are talking about two different countries. The big picture concept is the same, though. If you believe you should interfere with others' lives when you see something wrong going on, even though you are not directly threatened, that's the same fundamental value that drives a country to interfere with another country even though the country is not a threat. If the Danes were to arrest and execute a fellow Dane, and Sweden decided to intercede, Come on, choose examples which may deserve international intervention, not borderline issues. We're not talking about civilized, well behaved Danes here. The better example is organized gangs of government thugs raping helpless villagers in Darfur. There comes a point where the failure of the sovereign nation's government to rule in the best interests of its people outweighs the principle of national sovereignity. At least in my mind.... Report documents rapes in Darfur edition.cnn.com KHARTOUM, Sudan (Reuters) -- About 500 women in Darfur have been treated for rape in recent months and most said their attackers were militiamen or soldiers, according to an aid agency report obtained by Reuters on Monday.
