So we should just pack up and leave it to them? Why would anyone waste time arguing with an accountant about anything? Their sole function is to record what happenned, and any higher aspirations are mere delusions of grandeur. On the ladder of productive contributions they are the little rubber pads at the bottom that keep the thing from sliding out from under you. - Roger Wright

So you've huddled under tables while bombs were fired from ships and dropped by planes for months and seen all the damage that has torn up your community and killed many of your friends and family. Now your home town is surrounded by hostile forces intent on comitting an offensive againt the local group of extremely violent 'freedom fighters'. Fighters who would likely kill you and your family if you tried to cooperate with the enemy forces. Both sides you know have a reputation of shooting first... you would still send your 16 year old son out to meet them? Would you try to sneak out of your home under dark and hope you don't get spotted by either side? I couldn't justify the risk, I would stay with my family in my home and pray constantly that both sides slipped by us unnoticed.

They target civilians to instill fear and to intimidate. They do not wear uniforms. They do not have a publicly defined chain of command. They're fucking terrorists by any rational definition. Making any kind of excuse for them is absurd. If all they wanted was us gone and a piece of the political pie the most direct method would be to blend in peacefully for a couple years until we leave then sieze power like Saddam.

Probably but the two criteria above are part of what defines a combatant under the Geneva convention. If he is not acting as a combatant under the GC then what the soldier did is not illegal under the GC. I think that was part of the point he was trying to make. Whether that should have any bearing on this case or not is another question.

...but not a peep about the MURDER of a blindfolded femail captive. Nope, not a word. And the liberal leadership wonder why even folks of their own camp find it difficult to support their most vocal spokesmen...err...women...ummm...jellyfish. Best, Jerry

As my kindergarten teacher used to say: "Just because Joe hit Peter, you're not allowed to do the same. What Joe did was also wrong". Well, she didn't actually say that, because there wasn't a Joe and a Peter, and I never hit anyone, but you get the point. I'm sure you teach your own children the same thing. By the way, why did you uppercase 'MURDER', are you trying to say that what the soldier did wasn't murder?
