Hold on. If i remember correctly the bushwhacker government claims the Geneva convention does not apply because this is a "terrrorist" issue.

But the u.s. is on record with having been served a formal declaration of war by Al Qaeda. And Bush has referred to the issue as a "war".

Is there no one with the ability or courage to shove this denial of the Geneva Convention down their throat? Is there no mechanism of sanctioning the u.s.? If so, that has to be the most horrifying aspect of the whole conflict.

But "enemy combatants" can not issue declarations of war.

We are in a war that will set the course for this new century - and determine the destiny of millions across the world....

And we go forward with trust in that spirit, confidence in our purpose - and faith in a loving God who made us to be free.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

God may have made us to be free but Bush has done everything in his power to take away our freedoms.
