I'm not sure this one really rated posting.

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

Someone already posted the one I really wanted to post. Besides, I'm not in the mood for another flame war.

So true! Everyone wants the USA to follow Geneva, but you don't here that about others.

[ccnuggie.livejournal.com]

This would be more accurate if it better portrayed how the terrorists are violating every rule set forth to qualify for Geneva convention protections, yet they were recieving them anyway...but still, good cartoon.

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

It definitely needed something extra.

[ccnuggie.livejournal.com]

Uh, according to the Geneva convention they don't qualify for them, and the republicans on the SC did not vote for them.

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

That's really funny especially since Al-Qaeda doesn't fit any of the big requirements* necessary for Geneva protection.


* Some include being a country, having a flag, and having an organized army that fights according to international law.

Republican dominated only in the sense of Presidential nominations, not in the viewpoints or philosophy.

I'M OFFENDED!!! If that pesky little Geneva Conventions book lands on Muhammed bim Sim sal-Albim's head, that could hurt him. Especiallyl if it landed on the edge. TORTURE!!! HUMILITATION!!!

btw, why is he wearing a cheese grater on his face?

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

That is so funny! Anyway, the "cheese grater" is really a scarf.

[the-hamburglar.livejournal.com]

It's a cheese grater.

Yeah, and how does treating accused, not convicted, accused people put our troops at risk?

What do we lose by following the Geneva conventions?

Frankly, I find this pretty hateful.

Brutally speaking, we lose the ability to force information out of them, then shoot them and dump them into a hole when we're done.

Is it moral to do that? If it means learning about a nuclear bomb being set off in NYC and dead prisoners versus some better treated prisoners and a nuked NYC...

You tell me. In the end, war is not a moral, nor a good, nor a kind thing; it's organized violence by a government in the name of politics, or religion, or greed. The only question is if it is needed.

As a follow up, I'm not in the military.
Its not that I don't think America is worth protecting- it is. It's because I fear for whatever soul I have if I do join.

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

Of course not!

I know, the kid needs to get off the C&F kick.

[reblwithacause.livejournal.com]

should the soldier on the right have an Israeli flag? I mean with the wall it would be approprite - I think the geneva date would be differnt for Israel through well 1949 year but 1948 was establishment and then much much later was the convention with arafat etc

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be that bad if the soldier had an Israeli flag. However, C&F are trying to address the situation in Iraq.

[studmuff.livejournal.com]

Seems like a fair exchange.
