Thanks for the cartoon George76.
While our enemies ignore the Geneva Conventions and wage war upon civilians, we're expected to 'play fair' by abiding to international humanist law, which means these animals without consciences get chances to come back and kill innocents again. The Geneva Conventions were originally aimed at gentleman nations which already possessed national consciences, just as our domestic laws were written by and for men with personal conscience, guided in turn by Judeo-Christian principles. Laws can't tell you right from wrong, and the Geneva Conventions, last ratified in 1949, are blind to the mercilessness of our current conflict. Do people really believe that the only means of keeping our soldiers from slaughtering civilians is the Geneva Conventions?
As for the Supremes; they've repeatedly subjugated domestic law to international law, which is unconstitutional and the result of lawyers looking to the Geneva conventions as a model. So much for lawyers in love with the Geneva Conventions.
Our national character is our first model. It's flawed, but proven to actually work in practice.
