Ronald Smith was put to death by the state for his cold blooded murder of 2 people in Montana, and I can't find the original threads but there was a great deal of bitching because the US killed a Canadian. A crime far smaller and less proven than drug dealing in China.
The US recently put away the leader of the Red Scorpions for 30 years. In Canada, he probably would have done less than 10 years in jail. Obviously in China, he would have been killed and many here would have been pleased with the results.

I just want to see some consistancy here. Is drug dealing worthy of death everywhere, or just in China?

Another drug-dealer gone, and a stupid one at that. No great loss for the human race whatsoever. And we should remind ourselves that it was the same Gordon Brown Labour government in Britain doing the protesting that also let the Lockerbie mass-murderer go home free to Libya on the dopiest of humanitarian pretexts. As such it's no surprise to see that they're going out of their way to embarass themsleves even more going to bat for a piece of drug dealing filth that did far more harm in his life than any good he might have done. Good riddance to the dope peddler and, soon hopefully, good riddance as well to Gordon Brown and his slow-motion abortion of a government.

I also keep wondering why some people have such a hard time with the concept of "don't piss off the Chinese". It's really not that difficult a thing to understand.

But Boot.. What happened to the questions of Mr. Shaikh' compitance an his ability to stand trial?

Please keep in mind folks like Canadian Ronald Smith who mudered 2 people in Montana and was executed because of it. I believe you were one of those saying that Harper failed to protect Canadians in that case.

If China has the right to kill possibly insane or manipilated drug dealers, dosen't the US have the right to kill convicted Canadian multiple murderers?

I have never argued that the US shouldn't enforce its laws (whether or not I agree with them). My opinion though is that if possible, our government should ask for leniecy and/or extradition to a Canadian prison in instances such as Ronald Smith's (or Gerald(?) Sampson in Saudi Arabia).

Not doing so in essence means you condone the death penalty, which most Canadians do not.

They don't execute people in the UK anymore, not since the 1950's. Not a viable comparison donny.

Yeah, apparently most Canadians would rather pay for cold blooded murderers to have a place to live, food and clothing. Gee, maybe they can all go visit him and wish him well while they're at it.
