1. thanks, the first link on another post was bad

Sadly, this will break down into the same 50/50 schism that has plagued this nation the past 3 years. I think the 'Yes' voters should realize that this woman was NOT engaging in any commercial activity, but was on a "humanitarian" mission.
To those who would vote 'Yes' I say: Fuck You! This woman had the courage to do what she felt was right, putting her life in danger, and you want to further punish her? You are complete scum if you feel this way. She endangered no one but herself. People brave enough to answer the call of duty should be rewarded, unlike those given an 'honorable discharge' from a National Guard spot they ran away from.

Don't you wonder what the penalities were for the numerous defense contractors and other American corporations that violated the sanctions?
