If you want to lead the world forward into peace and a more civilized state of existence then you MUST follow the rule of law. In addition, the laws must be "civilized" as opposed to barbaric. You must be more fair than your enemies, more enlightened and, as a nation, you must adhere to the golden rule. Okay, There is a young man in Guantanamo. He threw a grenade at a medic and killed him and blinded two more. Under the Geneva Conventions he was not wearing a uniform and he killed a medic so he is guilty of war crimes, and should have been executed ON THE SPOT. The US took him in, and treated his injuries and the blinded soldiers are suing his family. They live in Canada, and his late father was one of Osama's financiers. As i understand the rules of war, and I hope you will correct me cause I only read them quickly, if a foreign national is caught fighting out of uniform in a war he is a spy and can be shot. So many of the people in Guantanamo are on borrowed time, cause the US could have executed them on the battlefield. So since you believe so much in the Geneva Conventions start shooting anyone fighting who was not an Afghani, instead of housing them in Guantanamo.
