so what about mules who are sometimes tricked and even forced into smuggling?? what good does it do having them executed or even rotting in jail when the cartels and the dealers at the top are still plying their trade and profiting?? and many officials in these countries are corrupt and often paid off by the cartels to look the other way and the ones who aren't are too scared to do anything from fear of violence.
Granted the two austraiians of the bali 2 were guilty and said so themselves but there is a French guy awaiting the firing squad who was only fitting machinery into a factory which he didn't know was going to be a drug lab, how does executing him help prevent drug smuggling?? the only message it sends me is don't go abroad :-P
