When will the GCs be respected by the terrorists?

And why are so many on the left demanding the animals get the legal protections of the very civilization(s) they seek to destroy?

because we uphold a high standard

No sane man can condemn another for killing a rabid animal, especially one that immediately threatens his life or the lives of others. As with the rabid animal, a proper show of moral superiority or mercy is impossible; the quicker it's destroyed the better.

Since terrorists--particularly jihadists--are not enemy soldiers, represent no formal armed force and cannot be reasoned with, by their very nature the GCs cannot apply to them. They can only be killed; they chose that fate the moment they reached for the sword.

Non-uniformed forces fall under Geneva Conventions common article 3, so the Geneva conventions apply to terrorist forces.

The Bush administration has agreed to apply the Geneva Conventions to all terrorism suspects in U.S. custody, bowing to the Supreme Court's recent rejection of policies that have imprisoned hundreds for years without trials.
