Well, all I can say is I want what you are having! 

  

I thought Crissyweb's post was outstanding, and I can add at least one more:  The Jon Benet Ramsey case in Boulder. 

  

People are so situationally ethical these days!  The media hypes up a case, general hysteria follows, and then we end up with silly boycotts based on something that happens here in the US all the time!   

 

 

What you guys are missing is that you can feel horrible for Beth Twitty and what she's going through.   And you can hope and pray that there's some resolution of this issue.   

  

But I have yet to see anyone make a rational case that Americans have the right to hold a Caribbean island to a higher standard than we have here.   These are completely separate issues. 

  

So sure, if someone here makes a legit promise to avoid any US city that had participated in a cover up of a murder, well enjoy your stay at home.  But I can't diss your ethics - at least you're consistent.  But the rest of you haven't made your case yet :) 

You are right Grandmafuz.  We just had a case here in Georgia - young girl disappears 11 years ago  -- her body is never found  --  the guy is finally convicted of her murder this week.  Her family has fought for this just like Beth is fighting for the answers to Natalee's disappearance.  It doesn't matter where the crime takes place, it's justice and closure that this family needs.

Yeah, i'm sure you are an expert on Dutch law and the Dutch/Aruban people.
Please.... 

This is really getting annoying. 

We have a 10 year old missing/murdered for a long time. They didn't go search for him with 2 f16 jets. That is really exeptional. We still sent 2 to Aruba to search for your Nathalee. 

  

It doesn't matter for the Netherlands if you visit our country or not. Boycot away if that is the best you can do..... 

There has not been a cover up. You just can't accept that there is not enough evidence. If you want to blame a whole island for that, be my guest.
It does not make you a better person in my opinion. 

  

I agree, big difference.
