Indonesia Executes Drug Smugglers

I was surfing the Internet and found this interesting article titled, "Australia recalls ambassador after Indonesia executes prisoners," by Hilary Whiteman, Mariano Castillo, and Kathy Quiano. The article starts off with the Australian government recalling its ambassador form Indonesia back to Australia. The Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot did not approve the execution of the smugglers he believed that it was "cruel and unnecessary," but I believe that any killing of human life is cruel and unnecessary. The Prime Minister does not know what action they will take against Indonesia, but it is believed that relations will be yet again restored because of their dependent markets. The president of Indonesia said, "Our legal sovereignty must be respected. We also respect other countries' legal sovereignty". This means that he believes the executions were necessary.
