Mousetrap:Even in the US there have been many honor killings. The women don't allow it. But they don't have a lot of choice. In the Eastern cultures, it's an oppressive situation and they either submit, or die. There is no fighting back. In the US, you have to be willing to break totally with your family and basically go into hiding. CNN has done several stories on this issue and it's a serious problem that's not likely to go away anytime soon.
