My stereotyping was with a purpose. We all have laws and practice that not all agree with. But killing prisoners transcends peculiarities and different approaches. It marks a country out on the scale of decency. The position on the scale for The USA somewhat precludes the self appointed exporting of values. Is the place run from Washington or Hollywood? Buggered if I can tell the difference. We only have one law that is a stain on the principle of civilised behaviour. The established church (and no other) is allowed to discriminate on sexual orientation and deny them a marriage service, and can sack gay employees for getting married. You will notice that rather than accept it, all three Muskets, of which only one of us is gay, tend to shout about injustice rather than say it isn't my fault so stop lumping me with my compatriots. Back on subject. This Musket helped unearth a doctor over here who had assisted in executions in Kuwait. He was struck off and his visa revoked. Sometimes, shouting just isn't enough. The British Medical Association keeps a list of doctors around the world, including The USA known to be involved in judicial executions. This helps ensure they cannot work in The EU. Australia / NZ or many other countries nor have papers published as their contravention of the hippocratic oath precludes their registration being recognised. Mind you, the list can contain errors and doctors on it have either confirmed their involvement or refused to respond. You see. you can do something about it. We prosecute firms who supply drugs or other goods for the purpose. We will not extradite people at risk of being killed. You know, if those opposed to it in The USA got off their arses rather than complain every time more progressive countries look down on them, you might just get somewhere.
