On what? War crimes? Whether or not we should target the families of known or suspected terrorists for execution?? I can't give you an answer if you keep asking really vague questions. Be specific.

Did you even read what was posted? I know it was from Wiki but still it is better than the nothing you have offered which is only your own opinion. What forms the rules of war? Nations is what forms them. And if you are not a nation or decide to operate outside those rules then what should you expect? If you hide behind human shields should you expect safety? If that were true then the world would be ruled by terrorists. Offer something better than the rules of war.....

I thought I made it very clear that I disapprove of targeting civilians and children for extermination. Is that not a war crime? Should we intentionally target the families of terrorists for extermination?

Donald Trump would like us to and he's running for president. Have you even read this thread? It's in the OP. It's in the title!

And Donald Trump has exactly how much military authority to order any such thing?

Make you a deal....if Donald Trump makes it to the general election I agree not to vote for him. If bernie sanders makes it to the general election, will you agree not to vote for him?

If you seriously think Trump's idea is a good one, you're sicker than he is. Don't most of you claim to follow the man who said "love your neighbor as yourself"? I don't remember any exceptions to that one...

So you're saying that the barbarism of an ancient bronze age civilization is better than learning from that barbarism and becoming more aware of the crimes committed during a time of war?
Good grief...it's a "liberal" invention...everything you don't agree with is a "liberal" invention, right? Come on into the 21st century...

AHH who-stole-my-name

Why would you thank God for that. Have we as a nation and a people did anything to stand out other than offer lipservice, to him.

You might get to a lot faster here, considering the cost of healthcare. Ive actually seriously considered moving to another country when I get older if this isnt resolved by time I near retirement.

That Trump (and some others) has any credibility or popularity in the USA seems quite frightening to many on this side of the Atlantic.
Perhaps he could could restrain himself to Herodian standards and only kill the two-and-unders?

It's no time to do it.
All is not fair in war, unless you want to make yourself as dirty as your opponent, and possibly dirtier (if you go and naively believe all your own propaganda about the enemy.)
And since you think the enemy is foul, how would that be any sort of *win*?
There may be such a thing as a just war, but the case for there being a "good war" is far more dubious.
And to come out of a won war with a reputation for excessive and indiscriminate violence and an utter lack of mercy or compassion? There's the foundations of the next war already laid.
Chris.
