Adnan,
Yes, See the point is These people are bound by Rules of engagement when caught by authorities can be proscuted, at the same time Non-state Actors are as medival as it can get. It is exactly like how Koran is guide to Religious Following for some Humans, similar it is a guide.
I am sure Indian and Pakistan army has done that, I am sure US must have done that too, but it is just a small portion. There is a difference between Collateral Damage and Terror. Military doesnt achieve anything by bombing a Market, while terror " freedom fighters" gets anrachy chaos, something they need to thrive in.
Yes, it's a guide, but no one follows it really. My teacher once told me,
"Even a righteous man has committed at least one sin in his life time, no one is free from sin"
No matter, what good moral and ethics he follows he does a crime, but the cases we hear are those that have been caught and brought forward, tell me has justice really been served when a service man has killed 12 members of a family and raping a girl and he's sentenced to prison? While he still lives, after killing murder? And on top of that using DU, and I'm sure you have seen pictures of what happens, I have personally seen children of Ex-soldiers from First gulf war who have deformed children, just image those dropped in Iraq what is happening there. But this is a issue to discuss in another time.
But what I'm saying is these rules are to benefit a select few, and no matter what the person does he should be bought under the court of law, cause if you don't your no better than the person who did the crime.
And no bro their ain't no small portion of crimes and rules broken by this so called "Coalition of the willing".
About the military and freedom fighters we can get into a big debate but I rather skip it this time.
