Canadian Woman And Children Trapped in Saudi Arabia

OK. I have to say that I am very split on this issue. On the one hand, I think if you are stupid enough to voluntary marry someone from Saudi Arabia, go there to live and then have children there-then maybe you deserve your fate. People like this probably do more research about what cell phone company to sign with then the culture and religion of their potential husband. On the other hand, she could have been wined and dined (well-no wine, but you know what I mean) and smooth talked into a romance. Certainly, the kids are not to blame. Did these people just suddenly discover what Saudi Arabia is all about? What sharia is all about? I hope that the government does try to help this woman, but they seriously screwed up helping Paul Sampson who was in much worse shape. What do you think?
