    The Geneva convention..

    ...as one bushite commented (can't rmemeber their name) is as one Bushite put it, just a piece of Paper, or is that the American Constituition? Perhaps it's just a big conjob to make us all scared of the big bad bogymen of Arab lands as we in the west steal their oil, kill their children at a rate unprecedented in history and make out we are the victims. Remember that woamn who after the WTC bomb asked, "Why do they hate us so much?" Well because we hate them I suppose as we kill their children. Drill that into your heads. 90 weak, innocent and fearful children have be killed by Israel's invasion of Gaza and no doubt more to come. I look at my boy, 3 years old, here in safe and sunny Australia and he has Jewish blood, but does he deserve to die for the sins of his father? NO! STOP KILLING CHILDREN YOU HEARTLESS, RUTHLESS MURDERING BASTARDS! ALL OF YOU. STOP THE KILLING NOW, THERE IS NO RATIONAL JUSTIFICATION FOR KILLING A CHILD. NONE. AND YOU STUPID FAT AMERICANS GET OFF YOUR ARSES STOP DEBATING THIS SHIT AND DEMAND YOUR SHINY NEW PRESIDENT PUT AN END TO THIS MASSACRE OF CHILDREN, CHILDREN CHILDREN. STOP THE WAR!
