Reminds me of an English high official's speech when challenged
about their determination to stamp out widow burning in India.
The challenge was in terms of the rights of cultural autonomy.
The official agreed and said that while they every right to
continue burning their widows, the English would exercise their
rights to round up those responsible and hang them high. Widow
burning was largely stamped out.
