[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] We did, however, put American citizens on trial for sedition during World War II for voicing support for Adolf's reich right here in the US. And there is a big difference between putting a German national on trial for being drafted into his own country's military, than say if we found American youths who had embraced Adolf's ideals and joined the SS for some reason. The differences here are that 1) The Taliban is not a country or government, but maintains its tax-exempt status as a religious group with guns. Theres some issue with exactly how to treat the POW's legal status. The 'foreign Taliban' are in the middle of this mess. 2) We have no idea what he thought he was doing. If he was incommunicado and thought he was fighting homeland infidels like the Northern Alliance, he could find himself a ticket home. Not likely though. And besides .. how stupid was that. He'd quickly find himself a casualty, a paler-skinned than usual footnote in some really pointless middle eastern war that wasnt really on its way to solving anything about the muslim world. He'd have been better off taking an Islam studies course at the learning annex, i think. but... if he hates his US upbringing and hates the western world and decided to join the Jihad which has been declared on Americans, then i say fuck him. Because I fly on planes and i have been in skyscrapers and if he considers me a target for his fucked up holy war, then i can surely support my own self defense by watching my government place him in front of a firing squad. Its his mistake for not officially renouncing his citizenship before he committed treason. [/QB][/QUOTE]
