Bombing the Red Cross
Jonah Goldberg:
"It seems to me that blowing up the Red Cross is a sign of extreme desperation (and profound criminality and barbarism). You don't kill neutrals like that unless you really fear that the place might be getting better. You don't invite that kind of hatred unless the status quo is really working against you. The interesting question will be how the Europeans respond."
It must have been the crusader symbolism. Of course the people under this symbol come only to help and tht is scary if you are al Qaeda or a Saddamite.
