I fail to see how all of Aruba is at fault.
Really? There's supposed to be law and order in Aruba-- that's something tourists prize. A girl is dead, and the criminals are running loose because they're Dutch. [You're not really comparing the US with its tremendous population and land mass with Aruba, are you? Apples and oranges, apples and oranges.]

Did you see the part where I wrote "(as a percentage)"?
That implies proportionality. Remember when European tourists were being shot up in Florida? Being a tourist is often the reason they're targeted by criminals.

And there's supposed to be "law and order" in America, but we've got our share of troubles, don't we? Oh, and the criminals are running loose, but not because "they're Dutch." It's because there isn't enough evidence to hold them. No body. No evidence of a crime. Practically nothing but some conflicting statements by each of the suspects. We have the same problem, but we can't even to confict criminals with overwhelming evidence (OJ, MJ and even Robert Blake come to mind).

No, the criminals are running loose because there is no evidence to charge them with the murder, let alone convict them of it. Do you think they'd ever be convicted HERE on the type of evidence against them? Dream on.
