Courts of law (military tribunals) have held that these people do not fall under the GC. Other provisions of the GC have different definitions of who and who is not covered. We disagree here, as I said we will not change each others minds. Best bet, get your Euro-buddies to take us to the Hague for the terrible acts we are doing.

We don't disregard the GC, we read it differently. The convention is not something read, one sentence at a time, but as a document in its totality.

About the dollar, interesting BUT I still don't see how the US fairs worse than the other major currencies. I think the real estate bubble you are alluding to is minor if it exists at all. I think the economic problems of the US relative to debt are trivial compared to the problems with debt we faced in the early ninties. I still see more problems in Europe and in Japan. I believe that the dollar will bottom shortly if it hasn't already and will begin to turn itself around, but I'll admit that this may be wishful thinking on my part and not backed up by any technical or fundamental analysis that I can hang my hat on!
