Let the UN celebrate by dancing naked in a pool of blood around a bonfire of books. Who really cares? They were lopping off each others heads centuries before we got there and they'll continue to do so long after we're gone. It's a win win for everyone. The world's population drops by a third, and we don't have to pay for the pretense that our involvement makes a difference.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-72440110877574957852009-10-29T13:58:27.931+02:002009-10-29T13:58:27.931+02:00By the way, Yaacov, you didn't mention the num...By the way, Yaacov, you didn't mention the numbers.

International laws on combat need a serious overhaul, and that won't be possible until America, too, feels squeezed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-36808404659072813742009-10-29T11:13:06.120+02:002009-10-29T11:13:06.120+02:00The logical progression in his statement is plain ...The logical progression in his statement is plain enough Yaacov. What he's saying is if you can't kill or capture an enemy combatant without breaking international humanitarian law you have to leave him alone. He can shoot at you, but you can't shoot back. That the enemy combatant may be breaking IHL, even killing your people, is irrelevant.<br /><br />It's beyond ironic that Goldstone has a built up a lengthy cause & effect argument to justify pillorying Israel and yet he can't even create a simple logical construct in that one short paragraph.<br /><br />GavinGavinnoreply@blogger.com
