The USA is condemend by many countries due to Gitmo; however, are these same countries saying a damn thiing about the beheading of prisoners in Iraq? NO. My opinion of the Geneva convention it is a typical worthless piece of paper.
It sure didn't help in 'Nam, it won't help in the middle east. It might work great if we had a war with England.
So, why are we even discussing this pos paper signed or not signed by countries?

Nothing like paranoid religious Imams.
"This campaign of calumny against Muslims resulted in the publication of the blasphemous cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a Danish newspaper and the issuance of the inflammatory statement by Pope Benedict XVI,? the ministers said."

I'm not religious, far from it, but I have to say the Muslim sure do not get upset with blasphemous cartoons of Christ. I do believe Muslims take this prophet muhammad (piss be upon him) stuff way too seriously.
