Thread: Interesting Documentary

IIRC the Geneva convention has never been signed by a whole host of countries.... China, Iran, Iraq, Vietnam.... and I'm sure there are others. However it relates only to the rights of soldiers not "enemy combatants" or terrorists.
like spies these can simply be shot without pretext.

when we try to assign rights to people who are striving to deprive others of the basic right to life, we are no better than they.

let's bring it home... it is nighttime... i break into your occupied dwelling, armed and with the intent to commit various felonies (burglary), say robbery arson and murder... you shoot me causing me to fall and break my leg... you are all for me being able to bring suit against you for the shooting and the broken leg, as well as just compensation fort he the loss of earning i would normally make from these enterprises?

no real difference when you scale it up to the national level.
