Personnally, i don’t the words war and fair really go together. War is never fair. Leaders who sit safe at home send away thousands of young men and women to their potential deaths, innocents are rounded up, moved away from their home, sometimes slaughtered. war is war and its horrible, awful, and if it comes down to you or the other guy, i really don’t think you’re gonna stop to think about the geneva convention to make sure you kill him humanely and legally. The fact is, he wants to stay alive as much as you do, so you try to kill him by whatever means neccessary. I don’t think that we should be at all suprised by the tactics being used by the Iraqis. They are just dong what they fell they need to do to win. That doesn’t make it right or fair, but its war, its life and death, and people have done much much worse things in the name of warfare.
