This is a thin line. They don't like us to continue Basement threads upstairs. If I call you a criminal upstairs, they will call it a personal attack. So lets just say, you and I don't differ a lot in interpreting things here.

This is not about the Geneva conventions. Americans who go to Iraq and try to harm or kill Iraqi soldiers or civilians are dangerous criminals and they should be handled like dangerous criminals. The Geneva conventions should be not applied to Americans in Iraq and it does not matter, if they follow them themselves or not. The same goes for Americans who are in Iraq to do something "humanitarian", as long as they objectively help the anti-Iraq coalition.

Do it if you like it.
