The Geneva Conventions were written AFTER WWII in which our enemies were somewhat civilized (Germany, Italy....much less so Japan). They had an army, in uniform, that was recognizable on the battlefield.

Times have changed, and you liberals refuse to see that.

Our new enemy thinks nothing of cutting off the heads of infidels (which includes our soldiers) and scoffs at the notion of "rules of engagement" and proper treatment of prisoners of war.

Its obscenely obvious that we need updated rules if we are to succeed in winning this war.

Even liberals want America to win, don't they?

The latest version was; the earlier version dates from the 1920s. that's the version that was in force during WWII. We didn't torture Jap or Kraut prisoners - even though Japs were thought to be plotting sabotage in Calif.
