Indeed,War is cruel,and such things like the Geneva Convention are merely guidelines of conduct,not really rules.When it comes to executing prisoners,you really can't argue with results.

WE COULDN'T WIN A WWII WAR TYPE SCENARIO TODAY - THE REPORTING OF EMBEDDED REPORTERS ABOUT 6,000 DEATHS WITHIN A 74 HOUR PERIOD WOULD BE SO HORRENDOUS THAT NAMBPAMBY PEACENIKS AND ANTI-WAR ACTIVISTS WOULD OOZE OUT OF THE WOODWORK IN SUCH GREAT NUMBERS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD CAVE IN TO DEMANDS THAT WE BRING OUR TROOPS HOME.

Very True. Some are also already saying that this is another Vietnam, another unwinnable war, but as President Bush said tonight in his speech
"The war is winnable, and we are winning."
Goodnight and Goodluck.
