Western nation passes bill that punishes Russian officials for death of journalist, Russia responds by stopping orphans from getting adopted by Americans.
Take that America!

MOSCOW, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- The State Duma, or lower house of the Russian parliament, on Friday passed a bill banning certain U.S. citizens from entering Russia or adopting Russian orphans in retaliation for a U.S. bill adopted against Russia.
The so-called anti-Magnitsky Act also bans dual Russian-U.S. nationals from participating in foreign non-governmental organizations.
If signed by President Vladimir Putin into law, it would take effect on Jan. 1, 2013.
The Duma bill is a tit-for-tat measure against the newly passed Magnitsky Act in the United States.
The U.S. act imposes a visa ban and asset freeze on Russian officials thought responsible for the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in 2009 in a Moscow jail after accusing officials of tax fraud.
On Thursday, Putin backed the legislators' move but stopped short of assuring he would sign it.
The U.S. adoption of an anti-Russia law was an unfriendly move that contaminated Russia-U.S. ties, Putin told a major press conference.
But he added that the Duma was also obliged by law to consider the opinions of opponents who claimed have collected over 100,000 signatures against the Duma bill.
"These signatures are now being collected. The process has not been completed yet," head of the Duma's Information and Public Relations Department Yury Shuvalov told reporters Friday.
MOSCOW, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday the adoption of the Magnitsky Act by the U.S. was an unfriendly move.
The anti-Russia law "contaminates our relations," Putin told reporters at his annual press conference, adding the Russian response was "emotional and adequate." Full story

Sounds like a good idea to me. There are lots of hard working Mexican workers who could be adopted instead. Why adopt a screaming baby when you can adopt a hard working bro you can have a beer with?
