    Their hanging wasn't a stunt, Malaysia and Singapore were logical staging points for drug trafficers moving drugs out of Asia. Their hard line, plus improvements in airline schedules, has meant Indonesia has become the safest way out. Now it is Indonesia's turn to stop it. Where is the next place they will use, East Timor?
    These young runners caught in Bali are too young to have heard of Barlow and Chambers, Corby may have but she was still only a kid when they were executed and it quickly stopped being news after they died.
    I know their parents and friends won't look on it this way, but looking at the big picture, how many lives have they saved by dying?
    Some people feel that more should be done to stop the drugs at the source, those countries at the source feel more should be done to eliminate the demand at destination. Unfortunately the harse penalties imposed at the source countries are not reciprocated at the other end, us being a prime example.
