You're a very bizarre fellow. So it's okay just to shoot all the prisoners in Gitmo, even thou the vast majority of them have no charges or at worse false charges filed against them.

Let me guess. It's okay to kill all them brown skinned folks. White Power!!!!


>>>Agnes, you are exactly correct in one respect. Freedom can only be measured by the openness of dissent and opposition to the ruling party. Bravo, and good point.

>>>OTOH, we don't kill our opposition. We don't have a White Rose Society but, if we did, I doubt they'd be hung or beheaded.
>>>
>>>We also don't occupy for genocidal reasons or destroy a nation and call it the General Government.

>>>Gosh, who could I be thinking of?

>>I think once we are attacked, there should be no rules. The "rules of war" is a joke. The VC didn't have any rules, nor the Japanese, nor Germans in WWII, etc. If we are at war, I say we should do whatever it takes to win. The rules are - there ain't no stinkin rules! - Throw Down!

>Absolutely. Use anything and everything at our disposal to win a fight.

>We tried to win 'hearts and minds' and international support in Vietnam, and we lost because the VC fought with everything they had and instilled FEAR in their enemies.

>The areas where Al Queda and Taliban are in control are where they fight with everything they have and instill FEAR in their enemies and in the people they subjugate.
>
>We fight our way in, carefully trying to pick out bad guys and not hurt 'civilians', and then hand out money, food, and medicine. That is nice, but the people are AFRAID of the bad guys who will kill them. Fear of death makes people very cooperative.

>War is not pretty.

>By the way, the bad guys do not fight for a recognized government and they do not fight in uniform. At best they only need to be treated as spies and shot. I'm all for closing Gitmo if we shoot all the prisoners and get it over with.
