>>I don't understand your suggestion. The Iraqi constitution is of their own choosing. Our military sure as heck doesn't live by it. We have our own laws.<< MM - I'll try to make the point clearer. Let's imagine that an Iraqi Army brigade came to this country for training. If one of those Iraqi soldiers committed a crime in your town, whose laws do you think would apply to him? I can see the argument that our soldiers have to be able to do their jobs without fear of being arrested for it. But if they commit a crime while they are off duty, in a foreign country, I think that country's citizens have the right to expect that their own laws would be enforced. - Allen
