Canadian flag on the backback myth

: "Mark Fagan" had l.com: It is merely an announcement to local people that since you are so much more polite, and might even know a little of their language, that Canadians are deserving of being treated better! It could also be that Canadians visiting foreign countries don't refer to the residents as foreigners and demand they speak english. They don't go to a local restaurant and demand food as served at home. They usualy don't spend the day telling their hosts how things are so much better at home and try to make up for bad manners with a huge tip. Most Americans don't do those things either. |

: in article , Dave Smith at wrote on 6/1/04 5:20 PM: Xomicron wrote: Ever heard of some *Geneva agreements.*? Which even the Nazis abeyed by BTW (at least on the Western front). Terrorists aren't covered under the Geneva Convention. Suspected terrorists should be tried under the process of the land in which they committed the crime. A terrorist isn't a terrorist unless it can be proven he/she attempted to, or otherwise assisted, a crime. Considering that those who go through with the action almost always wind up dead, it is moot to charge them after the fact. But when you enter foreign soil hunting for a 'terrorist'- especially uninvited, you are committing an act of war. GWB Jr. even stated that "We are at war against terrorism" (he also said he was at war against evil, which makes him as fanatic as the ones he hunts) It seems to me, the US is at War against Afghanistan, and therefore MUST uphold the Geneva Convention. The US is not at war with Afghanistan. |

Well, a columnist in my local paper was promoting Gengis Kahn as a role
model. Ken Pisichko wrote: So much for rules of engagement! Guess the US doesn't have any, eh? Stephen Green wrote: Quite frankly if I thought that a POW had certain knowledge that would either give me an advantage or save my troops lives .. Well I would use what ever measures necessary! |
