Personally i think all drugs should be legal. Having said that i also think that these people knew the law and chose to break it (i doubt to make the legalisation point but rather to make money) and so dont really deserve all this international outrage at their sentence being carried out.

Indonesia is a pretty corrupt human rights abuser and should be condemned, but at the same time Australia has a history of turning a blind eye to these abuses when it suits them. Particularly in the case of East Timor. When you help create a monster you can't be suprised when it decides to turn on you and kill your citizens.

The Bali Nine are the International drug trafficker and had been sold out by Australian police to Bali's Police. Now the Australian blames Indonesian court for the death sentence.

Who will investigate Indonesia Judges for corruption? Almost all Indonesia public servants are pretty much corrupted and the investigation on asking bribe from Bali Judge won't be happened. Even Indonesia the Police Chief Budi Gunawan was accused of corruption who was choice of anti corruption President Widodo. President Widodo has named Police Chief Budi Gunawan for the job the country's corruption eradication commission. I don't think corrupted Police will take action against corrupted Judge. It's the culture of Indonesia. Police will only take action against judge or any public servant if there was video evidence for taking and asking bribe. Otherwise no one bother it and business as usual.

My heart goes out to the families that lost loved ones, but who is really to blame for what happened to them?

Those people who broke the law and paid for breaking it with their lives or the people who enforced it? If the Bali 9 leaders would have never of attempted to break the law they would never of had to pay the ultimate price..... But they decided to roll the dice, but rolled snake eyes.

It's real simple, don't try and make it big by breaking the law and you will live a very good and long life. Hell, if you play it right you may even have enough money in the end to leave it to your loved ones.

Drugs and those that traffic in it deserve what they get........

If only they did. Governments control the supply of drugs. It's a trillion dollar a year CASH business. That's why cocaïne and weed are on every street in every western town.

Legalise. Tax. Repeat.
