How about calling for a national boycott of any travel to Aruba for US citizens? It's just not safe there. Especially for females.

Good call Xena. Aruba would soon find that coconuts do not taste that awfully good if ALL Americans avoided that that island......

The argument for a boycott seems silly to me...should we boycott New York and Los Angelas and every other city, country that has a crime that no one has been convicted of? Personally, I never understood the idea of a bunch of teenagers going to another country where the laws are more relaxed so they can party legally. Instead of a "boycott", how about making sure that kids, who are going to be away from home on their own for the first time, are reminded to be careful, stay with their friends, don't leave with 3 guys you just met. What happened to Natalie could have just as easily happened here in the US, and the investigation could be just as cold.

As for getting away with it because of who you are, or who you know....Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson, a couple of Kennedy's, etc etc etc? I wish they could get this solved as bad as anyone, but saying that we could have done better isn't necessarily so...

My two cents
