I want to make sure I am following you correctly. You believe, the death penalty is never justified? Correct?

That is right. The Nazi leaders, for example, should have died in prison.

Ah, yes, it's xenophobia that's animating you, as I suspected. Indonesia has the death penalty. The U.S. has the death penalty. I said nothing whatsoever about the Indonesian justice system being "above all others". I simply stated my anti-death penalty view.

Am I missing something? Did he condone the death penalty in Indonesia? I am against the death penalty anywhere but I live in the United States. Does my own country's participation in capital punishment mean I cannot speak out against it anywhere?
