jumprunner 0 #54 July 23, 2003 QuoteQuoteI hope we got 'em, but I'd rather they be captured alive. It would do the nation a lot of good for them to be seen in shackles and tried in an Iraqi court and sentenced to death During World War II there was a huge policy debate in Washington and London about what to do if American or British soldiers encountered Hitler in person. Should they just shoot him, or try to take him into custody ? They decided to try and capture him alive, if possible. It would've been a good thing if they could've captured Hitler and put him on trial, but of course things didn't work out that way. (Nowadays of course the Saudis would offer him a comfy exile...) I think he was more afraid of being captured by the Russians...Stalin stated that he wanted to parade him down the streets of Red Square in a cage wearing only his underwear. Hitler expected all of his high ranking officers to commit suicide as opposed to being taken prisoner, this was sort of an unwritten policy, which he himself evidently followed.

Remster 30 #57 July 23, 2003 Yea... good thing these 2 WMD-constructing terrorists were eliminated.... I fail to see the greatness in the fact that a country (any country) was able to find and kill 2 particular individuals. I'm sure the soldiers did what they were told to do, and probably did it well, but this is making news and spin out of not much IMHO. But hey! its a victory!Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #58 July 23, 2003 QuoteI fail to see the greatness in the fact that a country (any country) was able to find and kill 2 particular individuals. hmmm, well, I'd say it's pretty significant. They were a couple of fairly important people, I think. They might have been a little bit more challenging than picking up some local street criminal.

SpeedRacer 1 #61 July 23, 2003 I just think it's funny how in the Middle East, people celebrate by firing their guns in the air! I mean, how can you tell if they're really happy, or really pissed off?? I've also heard that in Afghanistan, people also fire their guns after weddings, or when a baby is born. Kind of a strange mode of communication, don't you think? Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If taking out 2 despots is a good thing regardless of what lead to their demise, the US army (and whatever other organisation does such things) is gonna ge mighty busy for the next few years.....
