Now before I dig in, let me point out that there is a strong difference between the American Red Cross and the International Red Cross. My understanding form years of news reports is that basically the American version is relatively sane and doesn’t get itself into stupid politics (but, dear reader, feel free to correct me I am wrong), and is truly separate from the international version. And I suggest you bookmark the pages I refer you to and tuck them away to bring up the next time someone talks about the latest International Red Cross Report complaining that we are not being sufficiently nice to terrorists, so you can remind everyone what a bunch of bedwetting ninnies these people really are.
You see the International Red Cross is considering action to protect a group that has been horribly abused for years. And the most horrific thing about it is that the persons committing these gross violations of human rights law are often shockingly young. We are talking sometimes kids as young as three years old committing horrific atrocities.
So what is this poor oppressed group that the IRC is considering intervening on behalf of?
