What goes around...

Walking out past the Giant Wall O' TVs this evening I heard some guy going on about how it was - if what the British sailors and marines say happened did happen - that it was certain that Iran had violated some article of the Geneva Conventions.

He sounded angry.

But what the hell did we expect, what with our adminstration pissing on the conventions, calling them "quaint" and out of date?

I hope Bush is at least able to see the utilitarian value of the thing now: Sure, maybe the Iranians wouldn't follow them even if we did - but why should they if we don't?

(I've long since given up hope that this administration will ever see the moral argument.)
