#2 An honorable enemy is one who declares war before beginning combat; fights according to recognized rules of war, honoring such traditions as the flag of truce; treats civilians in occupied territory with due consideration; and—a crucial point—refrains from the mistreatment of prisoners of war. Those who surrender should be treated with generosity. Adversaries who honor the code will benefit from its protections, while those who want a dirty fight will get one.
-- Walter Russell Mead, "The Jacksonian Tradition"

#4 "In light of the above we urge all non-Muslims to leave Muslim countries at a time when we are being ruled by dictatorial regimes supported by the West."

I've got a better idea. Why don't ALL Mooselums leave all Non-Mooslum countries and go back to their countries and leave the rest of the world alone. Where they can cut each others heads off to their hearts content.

This has nothing to do with who deserves what. It has to do with what happens when rules are broken. Who starts the chain of rule-breaking is irrelevant - the moment it starts, neither side needs to obey the rules. And this has nothing to do with the Geneva Convention - these are rules that precede it. By fighting out of uniform, terrorists are breaking the traditional laws of war. Napoleon's armies had one punishment for such men - summary execution.

#7 Of those who were abused at Abu Ghraib, how many were uniformed Iraqi soldiers, innocent bystanders, baby duck farmers, or father's of the year? Okay, and how many were some asshole in civilian clothes planting IEDs, toting RPGs, and shooting at our lads w/AKs? For the latter group - I could give a shit how much they were humiliated, beaten, hazed or pseudo-tortured.

#10 Hmm . . . interesting how they mention their own rulers in there. In an effort to become slightly more educated on Islam, I've been reading up on it lately, and everything seems to indicate that it's not just the West that they don't like, but their leaders, too, to a certain extent. This would seem to fit right in with that theory.

Yet, the more I read, the more I am at a loss to explain how to stop them peacefully. Logic is foreign to them. Consequences are foreign to them. Pluralism is foreign to them. Perspective is foreign to them. Even truth is foreign to them.

#11 The Doctor, nice one. Foreign is foreign to them.

#12 Doctor, victimhood seems central to Islam and moslems self-image (and world-view). Its almost as if they need to be ruled by dictators and despots in order to be victims.

#13 Phil, I've found that, too, and I'm wondering if it's not partially brought on by the conspiratorial worldview that they have. For centuries it's been every-man-for-himself in the Arab world, and if you want to get to the top, you have to work secretly with a few people to get there: conspiracy is therefore a given. Along with money, favors, and patrons (whom you may be scheming to overthrow), conspiracy is one of the things that seems to make the Arab world "work." Therefore, if you're a victim, someone else has a better conspiracy.

Just a thought. Technically, anyway.
