Short Notes on World War IV
-
irst, take this Quiz on Abu Ghraib.
- Picture Iraq before the Americans arrived. Now picture Iraq as it will likely be after the Americans leave. Let's face it: Iraqi prisons are currently experiencing a Golden Age!
- Anne Applebaum demonstrates that she does not understand...The Geneva Convention: How many people have actually read it and understand its purpose? It seems to me very clear: Geneva Convention protections are given to prisoners who follow the rules of civilized warfare by targeting combatants and wearing a clearly identifiable soldier's uniform and conducting themselves in a manner outlined by the Geneva Convention. Suicidal jihadists by definition do not qualify for Geneva Convention protection. They target innocents. They do not wear military uniforms to identify themselves. They pretend to surrender and then kill soldiers accepting their surrender.
- In addition, it seems to me that the best way to undermine the Geneva Convention is to grant suicidal jihadists POW protection. The Geneva Convention should reward those who follow its rules. There should be zero tolerance for any person and any government that supports, advocates, or fails to condemn ideological suicidal attacks on civilians. Perhaps we are close to getting past the hideous legacy of Arafat.
- Why is the Afghan Miracle not making the news?
*** Thought control, like birth control, is best undertaken as long as possible before the fact. Richard Mitchell
UPDATE: Power Line has a post about the Gonzales hearings.
