Russia's 180
I just found out today that Russia is under a moratorium on the Death Penalty.
This is an example of blatant disregard of moral values by a government that is so narrow-minded that they live solely in the microcosm that is their own bigotry.
This travesty recalls the Taliban's destruction of the Buddha's of Bamyan, the two "monumental statues of standing Buddhas" that were carved during the 6th Century. The Taliban, in their focus on being Islamic Fascists, ignored the rest of the world's plea's of preserving these historic monuments.
Russia is also guilty of this tragic disregard of any modicum of respect towards history.
How can they ignore their strong history of government sponsored death squads by outlawing the only thing similar that is still considered acceptable by modern standards?
The only reason tourists go to Russia anymore is to get a feel for Stalin's Gestapo. Where is the outrage? Since when did Russia become opposed to murder? Do pigs now fly?
