Marjorie in Qatar

You are back in Qatar! We need people like you. I followed the links, felt sad, angry and helpless, but was a little encouraged that the US State Department, (with Rice's signature!) is aware and presumably exerting pressure. But the poverty and injustice that is life for so many of the world's people could make one despair. Respect for humans, and for human rights , is up there -with not trashing the planet- on any list of moral imperatives.
