That's an interesting thought. But consider this, when American soldiers kill insurgent or innocent bystanders they are murderers. When the insurgents kill American soldiers or American civilians they are called freedom fighters. We fight by the rules and are to be monsters, they fight by no rules and are considered the victims.
I guess you are only bad if you make rules then break them as oppose to not having any rules at all.
Your right, it is very wrong for us to be called muders, maybe invaders would be a better term.
During the revolutionary war, did we fight by the rules? Did the British consider us freedom fighters?
As far as following rules, they are following the rules, not our rules, but neither are we (torture). Their rules have been around alot longer then ours, of course they are religios rules, which we hae a hard time grasping.
Besides the Geneva Convention rules, we usually follow the Standard Christian Response Rulew (hay that kind of sounds religious)
Which is Bomb, Invade, Kill, Kill, Kill. (Invade part was added fairly recently).
