This means any terrorist should be subjected to any form of torture, violence, beheading, or any other method they use themselves on their victims. They should have the same rights they give their victims, which is the right to die a horrible, painful death. They should not be given rights which they do not respect; give them what they give with the full force that can be brought to bear as this is the only thing they understand.<br><b>References : </b><br>From the AEN "How to Get Along in Life Handbook" No animals or plants were harmed in the answering of this question.

The Geneva Convetions are a waste of time and should be completely scrapped. If a nation claims limits for its own behavior based on right and wrong, let them enforce their own rules. But in a world where the balance of power is so one-sided, it's stupid to expect that a third-world military force would have any choice but to resort to "uncivilized tactics." It becomes an issue of survival, and in survival, there are no rules.<br><b>References : </b><br> There’s no such thing as governed warfare or civilized combat.
