Where does every one get this "rules of war" concept
We are at war, Solders and civilians are being and will be killed, THERE ARE NO RULES EXCEPT TO WIN!!!!
While I in no way condone the acts of the Iraqi military forces I can fully understand them
Broken down to its most basic - if some entity where to try to invade my home and take it I would use every measure possible to save my home
This is not fighting with the Marquis of Queensbury rules, the longer the coalition forces continue to battle with restraint the more casualties the coalition will suffer
Furthermore France is now moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America - I understand France is acting in their own best interest - however the best interests of the French are counterproductive and dangerous to the best interests of the USA
It is my understanding that French President Chirac warned East European nations if they side with the coalition that France will oppose their membership in the European Union - Poland has already decided to aid the coalition efforts
In my opinion the USA should declare France an enemy of the USA and remove all US personal from France and request France to remove all French personal from the USA
In addition the USA should suspend all trade with France, freeze all financial assets of France and French corporations in the USA and levy all economic and diplomatic sanctions at our disposal

Or we could just send over a troop of boy scouts and take them over.
