>>>>>Are you telling me you see no difference between the wartime killing of enemy combattants and the wholesale slaughter of innocent civilians?

Dear Andy, you remind of Bluester, an expert in sport of "paint yourself in the corner" sport.

Enemy combatatants are combatants as long as they fight. When they surrender, they are not combatants any londer, they are POWs, regulated by The Geneva Convention.

Have you ever heard of "turkey shooting" columns of POWs and foreign nationals (also reffered to as "shooting fish in a barrel") after Desert Storm? Or about bulldozing live Iraqi POWs under the sand?

War is hell and war crimes happen. If you are full of outrage towards Serb war crimes, you should be full of outrage towards Croatian, Albanian, American or Martian war crimes alike.

Everything else is liberal hypocrisy of "i did not have sex with that woman" kind.

Were those claims true, I'd be outraged. Sy Hersh's hit piece aside, those war crimes charges have never even remotely been substantiated.

Not necessarily. You sound like a Holocaust apologist.

If you are full of outrage towards Serb war crimes, you should be full of outrage towards Croatian, Albanian, American or Martian war crimes alike.

But I am.
