Osamacrats Part II

clipped from www.villainouscompany.com Tigerhawk comments: ...the Geneva Convention of 1949, which governs the conduct of war and obviously postdates Roosevelt's time, may in fact operate to impose enormous disadvantages on countries that actually care about following the law, particularly in asymmetrical wars. The Fourth Geneva Convention essentially criminalizes all forms of collective punishment and reprisals against civilians, both of which were favorite tactics of the Anglo-American alliance during World War II. But what if lasting victory only comes with breaking the enemy population's will to fight? And isn't this just fitting when you consider that the antiwar Left, not to mention a considerable part of the Democratic Party, consider George W. Bush to be more of a danger than the terrorists? Add to that the thought that al Qaeda's grand strategy is to vex and exhaust the enemy until it gives up, and all we can say is that it's a beautiful thing when a plan comes together.
