What a great and just country America is. I see where the wise and generous President Bush has granted the taliban criminals the right of the geneva protections. What other Nation would treat their enemies with such fairness.
We see again the great heroics of the terrorist displayed in the west bank town of Hamra. Four wounded, three dead including a mother and her 11 year old daughter. What brave men it must take to murder children.

'What a great and just country America is.'

Why do her congressmen refuse to hear complaints about the tax law? Why do they play games with their subjects, er, I mean citizens?

Truth is that which is.

'I see where the wise and generous President Bush has granted the taliban criminals the right of the geneva protections. What other Nation would treat their enemies with such fairness.'

The president did not grant anything. Come out of your confusion and into the truth. The United States is OBLIGED by an International Agreement. An Agreement that it A) Backed and B) Signed. To not do so would be to violate an agreement that it voluntarily signed. It is worth noting that the US has a long history of violating that same convention, so in one way, it is kind of nice to see it, FOR ONCE, keeping its word.

Let me ask you. If I do that which I agree to do, is that any indication that I am a great person? If I make a deal with you that from this day forward, you can park in my driveway and I can park in your driveway, am I granting you anything by letting you do that which I've already agreed to let you do? Hardly.

Truth is that which is. May the Lord rebuke you in your error.

I think John had an excellent posting quite a while back about how when people get into the US govt. system, they are taken in by the power, prestige, glamour, etc. and very soon start 'towing the party line' instead of using their heads in decision making. Am I quoting you correctly John?

American soldier charged with killing ethnic Albanian girl
Melissa Eddy, Associated Press

VITINA, Yugoslavia (AP) An American soldier serving with the international peacekeeping force in Kosovo
was charged Sunday with sexually assaulting and killing an 11-year-old ethnic Albanian girl, the U.S.
military announced.

Staff Sgt. Frank J. Ronghi is accused of murder and indecent acts with a child, Col. Ellis Golson told
reporters. It is the first time a peacekeeper from any country has been accused of such serious crimes
since the 50,000-strong NATO-led peacekeeping force entered the province on June 12.
...
It was too early to tell how the incident would affect relations between the Americans and ethnic Albanians.
Other similar cases like the rape of a 12-year-old Japanese girl by three U.S. servicemen in 1995, for
example have sparked rallies against the U.S. military presence.
