Repelling an invader on our shores is a lot different than going halfway around the world to bomb hell out of someone because of a fear that if X, Y, and Z were to happen, them folks would be over here cutting our families' throats. I suspect I too would be willing to cause an invader some serious grief w/o excessive regard to protocol.

Hate to be the a$$, but this part here:

throw out the Geneva convention and cause some serious problems for the invaders.....

Isn't that a lot like the POV of Zarqawi and crew not to mention the staff at the Hanoi Hilton when John McCain was a guest?
