ok now, so if someone read your post, they can conclude that if in 2003, a nation practicing slavery is no big deal, becaue throught out history.. it has been done!??
You know, ALOT of kings through out history have killed thousands , somethimes millions of their own people... Even if alot of them were doing it... doesnt mean it was ok
right from wrong as always been there... the only difference is back then.. it was easier to get away with it!!!
