First. I do hope that everything will be all right to all the POWs taken in this war.
Second. I do hope this war will be over soon.
Now. What occured to me is the obvious contradiction between the words of SOME people in US administration who have recently said they don't care about UN, UNSC, inspections etc (implying "US is strong. US knows what it does. US can do it alone and will do it alone. We need no advice from others who just don't understand...") and immediate references to international law (Geneva Convention on POWs) made by the same people just several days later. What do you think? Is it right to cite international law after having committed the most glaring violation of this law before? Is it right to demand from Iraq to treat US POWs correctly when US itself indulges in violating the same convention in case of Guantanamo. Correct me if I am wrong.
I am not anti-American, I' not pro-American. Just facts.
Thanks everybody for answering.
