Boycotting Aruba, what?
Normally I'm very indifferent of politicians. But what the governor of Alabama has asked really gets under my skin.
He has asked for a total boycott of Aruba. This week he will try to convince the other 50 governors to do the same.
To my knowledge the USA is boycotting 2 countries:
Cuba
North Korea
Iraq was boycotted under the Saddam regime.
A couple of months ago an Alabama teenager dissapeared on Aruba and the case went cold. This is why he is asking for a boycott.
Aruba has a population of about 90,000 people. Tourism the the main source of income. Boycotting Aruba would destroy the nation.
And all of this because three young men (who are not even Arubans) who may or may have not harmed the Alabama teenager.
There are hundreds of Alabama teenagers missing in Alabama and in other USA states. I think what he is doing is totally out of proportion and very hypocrite.
I also think that it is very disrepectfull to the families of the other hundred of Alabama teenagers missing in Alabama and other USA states. They have gotten zero attention of the governor.

The media also portrays a total wrong representation of the truth. I never tought the media could be so mean, and misinform people just to make the story more dramatic and thus resulting in higher ratings.
They are painting Aruba like the villan in a cartoon.

- more then 10 detectives have been assigned to the case and worked non-stop 3 months long on the case
- 2 dutch Airforce jets with x-ray devices have been flown in to search
- they held the suspect for 120 days (the maximum allowed by the dutch law, without pressing charges) and interrogated them daily, even a special dutch interrogation team was flown in
- the Aruban government provided Mrs. Holloway with everything she needed while staying on the island for over 3 months.
The thing is, I don't understand why they are saying the government is not doing enough.
Perhaps when a person goes missing in the USA they put more effort in? If someone can answere this question for me, maybe I will be able to understand why they are saying the the Arubans are not putting enough effort.

Anyone catch the Deepak interview where he calls the missing girl a whore and that she was asking for it?
Boycott the place and lets see if that lights a candle under their ass to do more.

I'm in for the Aruba boycotting. I was following the case pretty closely, and the officials there seem to run a very shady operation.
