They were siezed, the money was irrelevent. (in fact I wouldn't be suprised if you didn't

It's alarming to us in the US, because we (mistakenly for the most part) trace our laws back to England. Many here (again mistakenly) feel England and of course Australia are most like us. We are facing the same foes time and time again. And of course the big one, we speak the same language (more or less).
What happened in England an Australia was a huge (and rightfully so) wake up call to what was in store for us. As powerful as America may be, it cannot stand alone against the rest of the world.
As a free citizen I expect my government to put what ever pressure it can on your government to stop infringing on your rights as a fellow free citizen. (this in theory is what the UN is supposed to do and not much else)
