That might be, but the rules are for OUR benefit, not theirs, both in order to protect us in future conflicts with people who might be more tempted to violate the rules with US because we already violated them AND because it is a vey bad thing for people to do such stuff, and to build it into the rules institutionalizes such dysfunction. Well I'm sure those rules that we observe helped all those people in the towers and aircraft that died as well as Richard Pearl and Nicholas Berg, not to mention the African embassies. It doesn't protects us any more if we observe the rules and our enemies don't. In fact it shows our enemies, that they can do whatever they want and can in turn expect us to not do like wise.
