If the overall situation doesn't change in the Middle East - then neither will the terrorism. Even if the palestinians get their own state and the US removed our troops out of Saudi Arabia - it wouldn't do anything. Bin ladin and other fanatical groups have a steady stream of recruits in the people who don't see any end to their poverty and need someone to blame.

Did anyone else see the video today of little kids running up to the soldiers for candy and water? They all came running to the British soldier who had the stuff, they looked so happy. To me, it is the little things like that that make this war so much more worth it. It was kinda funny, at first they were scared and one brave little boy came up to the soldier, took the candy and then ran away, lol. Then when the other kids saw what he had they all came running to get some of their own, hehe it was great

They said they needed the protection. As they put it - "we live in a very bad neighborhood with very big bullies and we need a powerful friend" So they figured if they built a huge air base (which obviously they didn't need for themselves) that we would come. And we did.

We see that - along with the injured children and other innocent people (which is a trajedy) and all Al Jazeera shows is the death and destruction.

As for Russia - can you believe that Putin is upset with us? Supposedly the State Department had repeatedly told Russia that that company was selling military equipment to Iraq. Now we find Russian GPS jamming systems and night vision goggles made in Russia. Supposedly these were being sold as late as LAST MONTH to Iraq. I can't wait to see how the trail leads to France- besides the stuff we already know.

As you know the Convention language didn’t took in consideration video images, but it did took in consideration exposition to the public of PoWs, which can be done, massively, by the modern media. While you perceive, correctly, that there is a clear difference between what Saddan did and the Western press was allowed to do (and we both can see that quality, and degree for the actions are different, I expect), you do not want even to consider that both are transgressions, (of a very different degree and quality but transgressions nonetheless). You see, the key issue of those images is that they can easily be perceived as being a transgression of the dignity of the surrendering troops (and despite what you say, there were indeed shown close-ups of soldiers and prisoners interacting, including after surrendering. See your own press about that, they state as much and I saw some myself). Instead of focusing in denying the occurrence, it would be much more constructive to focus on the different (immoral) nature of Saddan’s action, don’t you think?

It is clear that the Iraqi government released the tapes of our soldiers, unlike the few pictures of Iraqi soldiers which have appeared on our media. Although Al Jazeera is being criticised here for showing the horrific pictures of our soldiers - the US is not claiming they violated the GC. We are saying Iraq viololated it for RELEASING the tapes to the media. The US government has NOT released any videos or pictures of Iraqi soldiers we hold in captivity. The few pictures taken of Iraqi soldiers were captured by independent news sources - the US government had no role in their distribution. The US government had asked our media not to show pictures of the POWs until they contacted the family. They know they can not prevent the media however from showing them if they choose to. Our media complied and then once the families were notified they showed them (but not the dead).

This doesn't deal with Iraq - but it deals with Middle East politics, America, Israel and Bin Ladin. It's a free online seminar that analyses the Al Qaeda recruitment tape.

Just the worst thing on the tape - is seeing the young boys and realising that they are being trained to be terrorists. Looking at 10 year old boys and knowing that they are being groomed to be our future enemies - is really sad.
