Stoning someone to death? Honestly? There's a country on this earth that is still doing this? I mean, execution for crimes is barbaric enough on its own but to do it by means of stoning? We're honestly supposed to take these people seriously when they're allowing their system of government to use a method such as this to commit an execution?
That said, I think Americans should pull back a bit on their righteous indignation. It has not been so long (cough, cough waterboarding) since they were using cruelty to achieve a purpose.
