The Iraq War and the Geneva Convention?

Question

For all of those who support our troops. Do you think the outcome of this current conflict would be different if wed didnt have to follow the Geneva Convention. I just think its unfair. Kind of like me and you fighting but you get to use a knife and I dont. Unfair right?

So the insurgents blowing us up are bound by the Geneva Convention too? (riddler)?

Answer 1

I don't think we should have to follow and of the many Geneva conventions since terrorists/insurgents don't. That aside the military's hands have been tied since the get go with the rules of engagement. Hope fully that'll change now.

Answer 2

We can abide by the Geneva Convention, and still win this war. It's the Liberal politicians that won't let our troops fight the war the way they were trained to do. They care more about the terrorists than they do our troops. It's a shame. It's the Liberal politicians, and their media that are the worse of enemies during war time. You can always count on the Libs to side with the enemy. Just another note. The Geneva Convention only applies to our enemies if they're in uniform! A rug on the head does not constitute a uniform, but like I said, the Libs care more about the terrorists.

Answer 3

I do not think that the outcome would be different. We are fighting for our values.

The sad thing is that nobody seems to think that an American is entitled to the same protections as our enemies are.

Answer 4

everyone is bound by the geneva convention.
