its the diplomatic pressure we have been applying behind closed doors which I believe will pay off I am more than happy that Laos save face in anyway hey want, but this girl must be returned to the UK. The strength of feeling alone and the "huffing and puffing" might not mean much - but economic sanctions, all foriegn aid being withdrawn, seizure of all foriegn assets... these sort of things make them sit up and take notice. And the UK govt has been driven to do this because of the strength of feeling of the British people... so indirectly perhaps "huffing and puffing" is what does the job after all.
