There you go again. It was Arizona who executed him. What does Arizona have to do with New Jersey where there is no death penalty?

This is going to cause a stink as Arizona most likely bought the drugs illegally. This is the second time this has happened. I don't know why they are so attached to lethal injection. If they want to execute someone do it with pride in the open like Saudi Arabia or Iran. Gutless hypocrites, take pride in your justice.

One must understand that most Non-Americans have NO CLUE how The US operates.


From my visits to your fine country, I would make the assessment, that most Americans don't know how your country operates.

And might I add that most Americans don't even know where most of the rest of the world is, or how it works, and in much of the country don't even know that most people of the World don't speak English.

We understand someone saying "You Yanks" displays no real knowledge of The US.

We know what ONE State does, means NOTHING about all the rest.

Why this Vast Ignorance regarding this Country still exists. Has been a mystery to me.

or, more likely, he is just doing it to annoy you.

I don't think they realize how large and different the US is internally. They only see the might of a United States. It is beyond their comprehension that different states can speak with one voice to the world. It has to do with a Commander-in-Chief for external affairs and governors for internal affairs. They still can't understand how a president can be elected and not win the popular vote. I'll give them some slack as many Americans don't understand that ether.

I fully understand how the 50 states that make up the United States of America work.

Riddle me this: -

Was it Arizona that invaded Afghanistan?
Was it New Jersey that invaded Iraq?
Was it New York that sanctioned Putin's cronies?
Was it Delaware that invaded Grenada?

On a lighter note, you gotta love this: -

"One thing is certain, however, inmate Wood died in a lawful manner and by eyewitness and medical accounts he did not suffer. This is in stark comparison to the gruesome, vicious suffering that he inflicted on his two victims -- and the lifetime of suffering he has caused their family," Brewer said.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer


You are truly "equal".

Why should we? To the rest of the world, what an individual state does or does not do is irrelevant, it's the USA.

You yourself classify us as "you people" little realising that the rest of the world is made up of separate nations - you are not! Separate states yes but you're one nation!

That shows the world's ignorance. I can't help what the world thinks. And I speak for 99 and 44/100% of US when I say, frankly we don't give a damn.

Anyway a federal judge ordered all evidence in the execution persevered. Happy, it's now a Constitutional cruel and unusual punishment thing. Render unto the states that which is the states and render unto the federal government that which is the federal governments.

Why, since The US has been the Dominant Military, and Economic Power since 1945 (but fading): Is there a complete lack of understanding of how it operates?

It's only a question of how you operate to yourselves. To the rest of the world when you enter the International scene, you are the USA. When will you Yanks realise that?

The "International scene" has no business in Arizona's business. Especially when they are ignorant of the situation.

You people are closer to me than Arizona is. Should I stick my nose in your business?
