26. Yes, for some reason "going hog-wild in an orgy of destruction" is not in the Geneva conventions at all.

Either as a war crime, or as a crime against humanity. But it does allow harboring top belligerent commanders to be used as pretext for targeting a hospital.

I DID find it in Geneva. But obviously you won't, and it is not because it is not there to be found. It is because you are preoccupied with finding things that are not there, like "going hog-wild in an orgy of destruction".

And I just challenged you to look at the big picture. You don't appear to be interested, so don't demand of me what you have never considered to do yourself.

I think I told you this Confucius story before:

A prince hired Confucius to be his advisor. The first question he asked Confucius was "How can I find honest people to advise me?"

Confucius responded without hesitation: "Be honest yourself".

The tale doesn't say whether Confucius kept his new job.
