Shame on you rummie for this gratuitously idiotic remark, which shows -- among other things -- that you have nothing of value to say. What
could you say? Your line throughout in these discussions has been that the US has somehow been defying gravity and obeying the law here. Since you're so much into international law, you'll know the importance of customary rules, which the US has repeatedly flouted (along with, often enough, the letter).
As for the RC emblem, rum, how bout you tell us why a new one had to be created? (Not changed, as you erroneously state.) Hell, I'll save you the trouble. It was because
the Untied States never shut up about the fact that the Israeli national society wasn't being officially recognized, which it couldn't possibly be legally since it was using an emblem not recognized by international law. The US carped, the US threatened, the US came very close to accusing the ICRC of anti-Semitism God-help-us-all.
Now, finally, after decades of work by the ICRC, a new emblem has been created (and the Arabs royally pissed off in the process). And what do you have to say about it, rum? The childish remark quoted above. :rolleyes:
