| Message | Mr. Speaker, We cannot rely on international laws; nor should we accept them. Prisoners of war, are men (or women) that have fought with out country, killed our men; and most likely destroyed our property. While no one said Dorvik puts the pressure on other nations to do the same. Once this law was changed, we did not acknowledge it, therefore we (My government) did not pressure nor tell any nations how to treat Prisoners of War. So that accusation, is not valid. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
