There are no rules in war. Besides, who gets to make such rules? Your enemy?

Funny no one has mentioned the firebombing of German and Japanese cities.

There are such rules in war as all combatants agree to abide by, which is why even the Nazis fed and housed Allied P.O.W.’s in accordance with the Geneva Conventions of which Germany was a signatory.

You ask who makes the rules. . .the enemy?

We trace our entire concept of Just War to St Thomas Aquinas, http://ethics.sandiego.edu/Books/Texts/Aquinas/JustWar.html

Hardly an enemy.

We are not barbarians. We are not uncivilized, immoral muslims. They act with deliberate, anti-Christian evil. We do not. . .and Christianity wrote the rules, not the enemy.

I’m just glad that ISIS is observing the rules of jihad...

Well it does seem to me the one thing the Allies managed to do is to forever quench the Germans’ thirst for war.
