See Mark Steyns column today.

"By definition, you can only win battles against terrorists pre-emptively -- that's to say, you find out what they're planning to do next Thursday and you stop it cold on Wednesday. Capturing them on Friday while you're still pulling your dead from the rubble is poor consolation."

Also,

"The Democrats and the media want to upgrade every terrorist into O.J. Simpson, insulated by legalisms and entitled to his own dream team."

Could you please explain your position.

I have documented that the course being followed by the U.S. is exactly what Articles 4, 5 and 84 specifically call for in such a situation and your response is "Lovely" and then a condescending remark that there is a "better" solution.

What, exactly, is the point of having European nations as signatories to the Geneva Convention if the Geneva Convention's Articles mean nothing to Europeans when they conflict with the European's political agendas?
