Of course this means that ONLY the United States should observe the rules.
It is OK for the Terrorists (who by the way are not signators to the Geneva
Convention) to demand the one-sided protection of that Treaty while
disallowing it to those they murder, take hostage, torture, etc.

Actually, the Convention itself says that those who do not subscribe to the
Convention are3 not entitled to seek protection under it.

.....Under such circumstances the Geneva Convention is NOT applicable..

Actually, the Convention is applicable to those who subscribed to it. Nowhere
does it say that if one party to the armed conflict or whatever you want to call
it fails to subscribe to the terms of the Convention that the other party is
excused from complying with its terms.

.....only the word of God as given to Christians is. Islam requires the death
of all
infidels without mercy, pity, or second thoughts. It is their Satanic
Religion given by the
Angel of the Devil...Mohammed..that has so distorted the minds and thinking
of the Arabs.

I'd prefer to leave the word of God out of the discussion, since the Convention
applies to all of its signatories, including even those who worship other Gods
or those who worship none.

.....The Convention requires BOTH parties to observe the terms. Besides, the
war in IRAQ is
only being carried to terrorists...not the law abiding Iraqi people who
loath the terrorists as much as we do.
