This past week some Iranians dressed in American uniforms killed some American soldiers in Karbala, captured and kidnapped some others, and then killed them. Iranian backed Hezbollah fighters did the same thing in Israel this past summer to start the war in Lebanon. Near the end of World War II Germans in American uniforms attempted to assassinate General Eisenhower. They were captured, summarily tried, convicted, and executed, as allowed by the Geneva Convention. Should we have the good fortune to capture Iranians in American uniforms in Iraq, then it would be legal under the Geneva convention for us to execute them. I'm not sure that a trial is required. But, if that were to happen, I would expect a hue and cry from Liberals and Democrats about denial of "Constitutional Rights."

In thinking about this, I expect the Iranians to attempt to kill General Petraeus. In World War II the German infiltrators, who spoke American English, were caught because they couldn't correctly answer questions about baseball. I wonder what questions our troops could use to identify real Americans now. I might not be able to answer them myself. Maybe it would be something good Muslims wouldn't be permitted to view, like Britney Spears' or Lindsey Lohan's underwear. Or Britney's scar, or Lindsey's rash.
