And capturing the "bad guys" isn't that easy when they all look alike. Again, are you saying we NEVER make mistakes in this regard?
This has nothing to do with "the libs" or World War II or any such thing. This might be called a war, but it is different from any other, even Vietnam. We are NOT fighting a uniformed army.
Besides, the purpose was to PROTECT those people, wasn't it? We should be extremely careful we don't nab a bunch of uninvolved civilians just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. That doesn't win many hearts and minds.
So, in this case it would seem we NEED some kind of mechanism to prevent such errors, and if not to prevent them then to FIX them as quickly as possible. |
Terrorist do not wear uniforms and often hide behind women, children, hospitals and schools.
Terrorist are not legitimate government armies and legally have no rights like a captured Army person would.
We are nice though and still treat them well, despite their beheadings.
