Quit bitching. don't we always cut you guys in on the booty?
Seriously though, you coming in here and throwing your blanket of guilt over
all Americans shows the same mentality as firing mortars into a city. You
don't care who you hit as long as the ones you consider to be guilty are on
the receiving end. I voted for Kerry, as did most of the sailing states. You
might consider developing more of a sniper-poster mentality.

Of course it does. The Fourth Geneva Convention *does* deal with "illegal
combatants" and it does afford them rights, just not the same rights as
"legal combatants".

Cheer up, when the fighting is over in Falluja we'll have a "Mission
Accomplished II". GWB prancing around in his flight suit should bring a
smile to your face.

You will see they are all Neocheaters. Use the power of Neotech for

Good words but you know me. I have to voice my concern, it's a matter of
integrity. If I did nothing then how then could I reconcile my inaction
with my dissent?

Go and read the Geneva convention. It explicitly discusses treatment of
civilians. Anyway, perhaps that is their uniform?

No my intent is to prompt you to carry the ideas further.

Wrong!!! .............. again.


You aren't afraid to parade your ignorance in public, are you?


Is there not any subject that you don't know anything about?

I remember what you said in the beginning about the occupation being much
more difficult than the war. Despite all the hoots and catcalls you stood
your ground. You've my respect.

Read that Neotech stuff. I think you will gain some insight from it.

Cordially,

It would be the thing to do, IF they wished to be accorded the protections
of the Geneva Conventions. Something tells me they really don't care. Only
the non-Islamic detractors of the US seem to find this to be an issue.
