The previous article raises an interesting question of so called International Law ( of which the muslim extremists obviously do not subscribe to).
And that is , If I send troops to help out another nation , and that other nation
has a nasty habit of mistreating prisoners, am I on the hook to protect , forever,
any prisoners I take , because I dare not turn them over to my friendly nation that I'm helping protect ?
The Liberals would say yes I am , but this answer is unacceptable. It puts a huge burden on the country helping out to deal with those prisoners, to the point where I simply don't have the resources to help out in the first place. Even worse, the Liberals will promptly point out that these prisoners did nothing to us , so we have no business imprisoning them in the first place...thus if we catch anyone we should just let them go free ? Yes, that seems to be their opinion.
The Liberal opinion , by Harm Theory , is indefensible.
Harm Theory , by the way , does not look at how fair or unfair a position is , it looks at how much harm it does. The harm imposed by placing such restrictions on western soldiers, is to the point where western soldiers may only assist other western nations. Anyone else , we cannot send soldiers there at all , for any reason , without irking the liberals. And that is such a huge harm as to threaten the existance of the west and thus the existance of our vaunted liberals and their special theories on life the universe and everything else.
Forget it. The position is not defendable.
Soldiers have to go out and defend the little nations that do not share western values. And they have to be able to turn over prisoners to the "proper authorities" rather than being stuck with them forever. Even if they know the "proper authorities" are going to torture and execute them.
It's a rough world out there, but you brought this upon yourself, guys. Lets face it , if you get picked up by a western soldier , it's because you had a gun in your hand and were shooting at them. That means every single prisoner in Guatanama bay is guilty of at least attempted murder , or they wouldn't be there in the first place. And more than half of them successufully killed someone , soldier or civilian , before being picked up.
And the liberals want to just set them free. A whole flock of murderers and attempted murders who want to personally kill us westerners, and believe that torture and painful execution are a wonderful way to carry out thier plans and they love doing it to us as much as possible.
If I could weep tears of blood, I would.
(edit : this part added)
If a private citizen travels to america , and kills a few people , and then passes by a Canadian Embassy , and gets caught by a Canadian Soldier... the canadian government is not on the hook for the criminals well being. The fact that Canada has no death penalty and America does, and if the Canadians turn the prisoner over to the Americans he will certainly be executed is irrelevant. The Canadian is a visitor and was just helping out the American government. He is required to hand the prisoner over immediately. End of story.
It is the same situation in Afghanistan. We are guests helping to protect the Afghanistan government, yes we have excessive influence in their affairs because they'd collapse without us , but still we are guests, we are enforcing THEIR laws, not our own. We are required to hand over prisoners to the afghanistan government just as much as we would be required to hand them over to the american government if we were in america helping out. The fact that their laws are harsher than ours means nothing.
