Please report this story-teller to the FBI, hopefully he is just a skilled wannabe, but he _may_ have told you the truth, and should in that case be able to help enforce the 4 Geneva Conventions as it is incorporated into US law. > Another guy told me the true story about the first gulf war: on TV, > you saw pictures of Iraqis surrendering to TV crews.

We're holding back, trying to be nice. ..agreed, the problem is, "trying" is not good enough. You have to _convince_ and with authority. Bush _has_ convinced the Muslims he is on a crusade against Islam and the Arabs for oil. And, they know their enemy has the nukes, so being right doesn't help them that much. .._no_ amount of candy and glass pearls will change that. ..so, unless you agree Arabs and Muslims should be treated like the Jews in Auschwitz, you and your country has a job to do. ..you say you were impressed by some "payback" war crime stories. I ask _you_ to help the FBI or the military equivalent of it, investigate these war crime allegations in these stories. Your _potential_ failure to help the GI's in Afghanistan and Iraq by helping weed out US war criminals, will only help al-Quaeda's propaganda fuel Arab and Muslim belief you're exterminating them to pillage their oil fields. Your call. > The whole European "we've evolved beyond war" is an illusion - I can't > wait for the next good war you get yourselves into.
