Hi FaultLine; Re: "If an organization wishes to remain shadowy, commit random acts of war against civilians, not wear uniforms, and not identify its members as combatants, why should the martial equivalent of the Marquis of Queensberry's rules be applied to it?" The same logic applies to criminals. Should we just let the police do whatever they like with them? The simple fact is that we do not. Even in the US itself, we do not give the police the authority to play outside the rules. And that is where the police and their charges speak the same language, etc. In Iraq, we have to choose between the same three alternatives that the Israelis face in Palestine. We can leave. We can stay and make the locals knuckle under by wholesale slaughter. We can stay and let the locals shoot the crap out of us. -- Carl
