I don't know why this is, things couldn't have always been better in the past, yet people generally think of it that way. Maybe it's the task of getting up in the morning and facing the day, and forgetting those struggles of the past. You'd think a society that didn't have this outlook so much would have an advantage over the others, but that may not be clear either.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-86621403367582226022009-04-21T13:19:00.000-04:002009-04-21T13:19:00.000-04:00In their imagination, they lived in a perpetual tw...In their imagination, they lived in a perpetual twilight.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1657662292236960192009-04-21T13:18:00.000-04:002009-04-21T13:18:00.000-04:00The Greeks retained a myth that their best days we...The Greeks retained a myth that their best days were always behind them.

It is the only article of the Geneva Conventions that applies in non-international conflicts.[1] It describes minimal protections which must be adhered to by all individuals within a signatory's territory during an armed conflict not of an international character (regardless of citizenship or lack thereof): <B>Noncombatants, combatants who have laid down their arms, and combatants who are hors de combat (out of the fight) due to wounds, detention, or any other cause shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, including prohibition of outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment.</B> The passing of sentences must also be pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples. Article 3's protections exist even if one is not classified as a prisoner of war. Article 3 also states that parties to the internal conflict should endeavour to bring into force, by means of special agreements, all or part of the other provisions of GCIII."<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Geneva_ConventionAshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-35725721543524239222009-04-21T12:43:00.000-04:002009-04-21T12:43:00.000-04:00"It would be interesting to see what the courts wo...<I>"It would be interesting to see what the courts would say about torture."</I>Considering the way they twisted the Geneva Convention, the courts have become less and less interesting when it comes to the Overseas Contingency Operation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-61053722664149305822009-04-21T12:39:00.000-04:002009-04-21T12:39:00.000-04:00Somebody is really trolling.
