The nature of war

With the U.S. now assuring detainees of Geneva rights, I think this thought that I had randomly jotted down a couple of weeks ago in my Moleskine is timely:

War between people who love life and people who welcome death is invariably fought on the terms of those who welcome death.

We may be taking the high road here, but it won't change the fact that radical Islamic terrorists will dictate the brutality of the battles.
