Honor Killing???????????

Sorry, but a guy killing his wife because she was leaving him, and Worf having a duel with the guy who killed his wife are pretty much exact opposites from eachother.
There has been a lot of Earth-ethnic theory behind the aliens of Trek For example some say the Romulans are Chinese, Romulan socitey mirrors China's loyalty to state, deep culture of poetry and embracing their emotions, very standoffish society in coldwar with the Federation (USA/NATO) Ferengi are considered by some to be the stereotypes of Jewish bankers. and old skool Klingons by Gene were based on the USSR or based on Mongols vs the Federation, when the Klingon's were modernized during TNG and DS9 they became the stereotype of kamikaze samurai or empire obsessed muslims
 
n fact, if an American citizen were to go to, oh, Ireland and kill someone one because of some 'honor killing' premise, do you really think the Irish government would just let someone come into their country, violate their laws, and just go home as if nothing happened?
No, but if he did something in Ireland that's perfectly legal there, but illegal here, he wouldn't face charges on his return.

That's not entirely true. Under US law it's actually illegal for an American citizen to go to a foreign country for the purpose of engaging in certain acts that are illegal in the United States. For example, it would not be legal for a man to visit a southeast Asian country with lax standards for the purpose of having sex with minors.
