Stewy,
I have looked at all the links and although I'm not a squemish person I find those articals disgusting , to think that a country that is so advanced in technology and who want so badly to be part of the modern world, can still show a barbaric side such as that, I know that it is a large and expasive country, but I fear that the education of those who perpetrate atrocities such as those seen must be practically nil, Only local government can stop it , but then, they only act on orders from higher up, so it becomes normal spectator sport to them....
