[QUOTE="canon, post: 168804, member: 8423"] Yes, once we leave we are no longer bound. In order to leave however, we must make sure Iraq can defend itself. When it is determined Iraq can, then we can pull out. From each site, the geneva convention and hague doctrine outline the responsibility of the occupying powers to protect the civilians. Wiping out the military removes Iraq's ability to protect, therefor it is our duty. I don't know how else to say it. If you don't believe it, that's a reflection on your ability to comprehend. It [I]is[/I] international law. Not because Amnesty International says so, nor HRW. Google it yourself and then come back with what you believe the [I]real[/I] rules of war are if you're saying everything posted so far is false. We can't leave them vulnerable for the power vaccuum [I]because that is what international law dictates[/I]. You have to make sure the innocent people are protected since we eliminated that source of protection. OMG. Are you serious? Then since you don't believe it is the occupying power's responsibility to protect the citizens and ensure they are protected after we leave, POST SOMETHING TO THE CONTRARY. We are allowed to leave, but only after we've returned Iraq's govt to the ability to protect its citizens. Your "I don't believe you because it doesn't fit my argument" case is about as juvenile as it gets. There ARE international laws dictating the responsibilities of any belligerent occupation... if you don't believe these, it is your duty in this argument to cite a souce opposing that view. Otherwise, you're as victorious as Iraqi's defeated army who can no longer keep the peace and protect the citizens. Post "your version" of the occupying powers responsibilities or don't bother to reply. [/QUOTE]
