<<<Much more importantly, the US should declare that the pursuit of human rights will once again be its pre-eminent principle in guiding its global alliances, and that it will from now on follow the letter and the spirit of the Geneva conventions for all prisoners taken in any war. And from the position of the enormous strength it carries, it should reach out to the world as a political and moral leader committed to improving humanity's lot. >>>

And this ,of course, must be done without using force, without setting foot in a foreign land, without killing anyone no matter what kind of murderous evil he is doing.
Without sanctioning a country which might result in starvation of its people. And then Saddam has the human right to treat his people any way he sees fit and treatment of prisoners is not relevant because there will be no wars.

Amen
