Politics: What was Queensbury thinking?

The Queensbury Rules. You know... civilized fighting.

The U.S. Miltary Queensbury Rules.

Islamist Extremist Queensbury Rules.

The wounded enemy combatant who was killed by a Marine has raised an uproar over whether he violated the "rules of war".

• The marine had been wounded in the face the previous day and returned to combat
• Other marines had been killed by "booby-trapped" bodies that were detonated as the marines checked them
• The wounded Iraqi appeared to be feigning death and when he moved the soldier reacted

Given an enemy that has shown no regard for any human life and who has no regard for any "rules of war"... and the fact that the marines have been faced with the most life-threatening combat environment... why it only seems "fair" that he face severe punishment for his actions.

After all, you, as an 18 or 20-year old, would have handled the situation much differently... like hell.
