Maybe we should start executing the people we capture in battle. The ones who surrender peacefully should be kept safe. The ones who resist get shot!

If this is true, and it seems that it is:

There should be no more humane treatement of any Iraqi POW's that may be taken. Even if they surrender, that do what has to be done.

As far as our troops being engaged in ground battles, the heck with it, use the air power we have, and put an end to it right away.

Even if you do not support the war effort, please show support for our troops. I am real tired of looking at the demonstrations on TV against the effort. I understand that the premise of America allows for these types of demonstrations, but use some common sense in this.

It is not the fault of the troops that they are there. They are doing their job so that America can continue to be free.

I am not trying to offend anyone, or start anything here, I just think that we should ALWAYS support our troops.

Disagree.... This is what separates us from them
We want to encourage Surrender..Not shoot those that do surrender

After, careful thought on my part after writing what I did. I agree, we are better than them.

Just my anger and rage speaking.

we should treat them humanely no matter how they treat out prisoners. however, this should make it crystal clear that saddam can not be allowed to leave iraq. he and his sons and top officials need to captured, tried, and executed.
also, where is the shock and awe? lets get on with it!!

These horrible actions are the very reason we are in Iraq!
This kind of horror has to be stopped dead in it's tracks!

Some retaliation is needed. We are already hated around the world, regardless as to what we may do. Public opinion should not affect how we may conduct a campaign
