How should we treat our enemies?

[JustAnotherFace]

This is one of those arguments that no one will ever win. We are all stuck in our convictions and that is not likely to change... I know I'm stubborn as hell. Either way, if you lead by 'Christ's example', you're just going to piss off the fanatics more. They hate Christians and the Christian religion. That's what this WHOLE war boils down to. And it will NEVER be over until one group or the other is exterminated. Do I believe that's right? Not really, no. But at the same time, I stand by that we are too soft on our enemies and our prisoners.

The original question was, "How should we treat our enemies?"
If I had any, I would treat them with love.
I don't have ANY enemies.
Are there people that hate me or my country? Yea.
Do I hate them back? No.
Should how I treat someone be contingent on how they treat me? No.
How they treat me is their issue.
How I treat them is what I would have to answer for.

Tell my step-son and the rest of the 3rd Marines 4th Battallion companies that they didn't find a 30 acre sized AlQuaida training camp 50 miles inside the border of Iraq packed full of suicide vests, dynamite, weapons, and 55 gallon drums of sarin.....
Don't trust all your information to CNN

Just curious when did they find this training camp?

We get so much disinformation from the media I could scream sometimes, well sometimes I do scream!

how were they able to differentiate between an "Al-Quaida " training camp and an Iraqi training camp used by Saddam before the invasion?.

You can tell by their dress, by captured POWs, etc... it's all in the details.

From the gathered intelligence,the fact that the people they were fighting were not the republican guard, and 1/2 weren't even Iraqis...
BTW, there WAS a story about this, early on, but it sure didn't linger for long...
AlQuada is an enemy of freedom.
They are not my personal enemy. They haven't done anything to me for me to forgive them of.

I don't trust any ones so called factual information unless they provide proof.

Like your assertion that your son in law witnessed the finding of 50 gallon drums of sarin.

Where is the proof that such a thing happened ?

I'm just curious... do you believe all of what you say or do you just go around spouting Anti-American BS? That blade is two-edged. He doesn't need to provide proof until you provide some proof that he's wrong, or that any of your opinions are cemented in fact for that matter.
