Because Iran used it to justify hostility against Israel.
If I hit you, or toss trash into your yard, or stole from your business, there is ZERO degree of separation between us. This level of involvement have been the accepted rule to justify hostility between parties. The more degrees of...
Actually, they are. Civilians can be combatants, legal or illegal.
A 'civilian' is a person who is not a SWORN member of a formal military. But he can be a combatant, legal or illegal.
A legal combatant is someone who adheres to the accepted ethics, conducts, and rules of war. He does not have...
The point is that the US should stay out of the ME. The question is why is Iran hostile to Israel. Your comment proved my point that the argument for US to stay out of the ME is not applicable. Thnx much.
In other words, Iran is hostile to Israel because of Muslim fellowship, not because Israel did anything harmful to Iran. I just want to get this on the record.
When and where?
Taliban fighters were illegal combatants.
Wrong.
You guys are debating the combatant status against someone who actually served in a military -- moi. Ever thought to do even basic research? :rolleyes:
No. You clearly did not. We are done. :crazy:
Clearly you have not done even basic research on the ethics, conducts, and rules of war. What constitutes a legal combatant vs an illegal combatant goes back over a thousand yrs over cultures. What is 'legal' or 'illegal' has more to do with the HOW of war and not of the justifications that...
No, it is not rubbish. The reason I wore a uniform, when I was active duty, was to make me a LEGAL combatant. You ever done anything like that? I doubt it.
This is not about 'caring' for the Palestinians. For the PDF Chinese, I doubt if any of them ever met anyone from the ME. This is about creating a narrative casting as negative a light as possible on Israel, a US ally, and to contribute this narrative to other narratives of similar biases. All...
The requirements at the US-Canada border is passport or in some border US states, driver's license. And both has consulates in the other's country. I thought China and NKR peoples are 'brothers'.
Why made it illegal? You always boasted about how China is superior to NKR. Why not be generous to the NKR-eans? Why not be better than US vis-a-vis Mexico?
Has anyone admonished Iran about consequences in the region? But only on US?
You asked a broad question, I gave an equally broad answer.
By the way...
