The first two lines you wrote are the black and white of this whole sorry mess.
One cannot fight against such medieval mindsets. Is it Terrorism or wide spread socially accepted medieval primal agression against the enemy,[whoever that may be this week][they were fighting each other last week] One that socially accepts the burning and public mutilation of civilians. The geneva convention. lol.
The look of those Japanese on their knees with a knife at their throats transmitted around the world is a clear indication of their thoughts on the Geneva Convention.
Its funny how they cheered with excitment when the bodies of those four americans were dragged through the streets and now scream blue murder when the army flexes its reprisal capacity.
There are no winners in this medieval barbaric display of humanity, where the only rule is there are no rules.
I don't have the answers and i doubt anyone else does.
America and others leave = mess America and others stay = mess
