I hope that the Iraqis don't just throw universally established conventions out the window if (God forbid!) they capture any of our troops. I am not anti-war, but there are many questionable things the current administration has done.

ABM treaty? Who needs it?

Rights? We're only curtailing them a little...

Biological weapons convention? We don't want inspectors on our soil.
