No, they do not.
POSTED RESPONSE TO AN EDITORIAL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
The law is the law, and these gals knowingly and
deliberately broke the law in Russia, even recording their acts.
Their behavior wasn't just illegal under the laws of Russia,
it was disrespectful and rude to millions who view the church as a sacred
place.
Just try doing something like that at Israel's Wailing Wall.
There wouldn't be enough left for a decent burial when the D-9 bulldozers were
finished.
And we have countless examples of genuinely unjust
imprisonment in scores of countries.
Only the other day Bahrain sentenced a human rights activist
to three years in prison, and his "crime" didn't involve the
disrespectful behavior of these gals towards the beliefs of millions of others.
No word from the Globe editorial machine on that. Nor do we
hear the Globe bemoan the thousands held in Israeli prisons against all proper
law.
And what of the CIA's International Torture Gulag? No words
of Globe concern there.
How about the more than two million refugees from America's
war crimes in Iraq? Where's the concern?
Indeed, the biggest portion of these poor people were given
shelter by that terrible country, Syria, where American paid goons are killing
by the thousands and trying to overthrow a government?
I could write a list that would fill the newspaper of the
savageries and injustices we see in the world right now.
And, believe me, a few goofy gals who deeply offended the
beliefs of others would not be on it.
But the good old Globe editors are right out there on the
front lines with that glorious defender of human rights and democratic values,
Madonna, whining and bellowing about the trivial.
I have no doubt whatever that their sentences will be
commuted at some point.
