8. Takes too long
Thu May 2, 2013, 11:47 AM
May 2013

I suspect that it would take to long to get to the point where he was actually arrested, if you don't start before he gets there. He'd probably be gone by the time the warrant was signed. 'Twould be nice if as many countries as could would get these warrants signed now, so that there would be a long, formal, list of places he couldn't go.

Thank you, European friends BeyondGeography May 2013 #1
