Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs
Luban Doyle writes "In an age of multimillion-dollar high-tech weapons systems, sometimes it's the simplest ideas that can save lives. Which is why a New Jersey mother is organizing a drive to send cans of Silly String to Iraq.
American troops use the stuff to detect trip wires around bombs, as Marcelle Shriver learned from her son, a soldier in Iraq."
Now let's hear from you about how to make terrorists follow the geneva conventions, and for example NOT hide in the general population (which would destroy them immediately), not kidnap non-combatants, not kidnap any iraqi, not attack women, not throwing acid in people's faces, ...
... let's have it. Let's just post a notice on the local mosque "american army will face off with the terrorists, please meat us tomorrow on the meadow".
... let's have it. How do you force the muslim terrorists (islamofascists, ...) to follow the geneva conventions ? That would obviously imply no longer having women wear the burqa, which can be directly verified.
So
After all, this is the ONLY way to wage war allowed by the geneva convention. If any party declares not to follow the geneva convention (as both the shia's and the sunni's have done), the other party (that would be america) is no longer bound to protect the opponent's citizens, and can shoot anyone they like for any reason whatsoever.
So
Yes! Let's pull out immediately and leave all those worthless brown people to step on mines and be brutalized by terrorists!

Yeah that's the solution. Why didn't I think of that? Just pull all of the troops out of Iraq right now. That would be fucking awesome.....or wait, no actually that would be the absolute 100% worst possible solution to a very complex problem. Move along and shut the fuck up.

When he coems uot and says anyone who kills with be excomunicated, then we will talk. Until then it's just talk.
Of course, taking the word of someone who thinks they talk to a giant invisible man might be a little risky.

What part of it would one believe? There's a lot of verses that contradict other verses. That's what happens when people have changed something over hundreds of years to serve their own purposes.
