SIMMONS ON THE RED CROSS
Geitner Simmons at Regions of Mind goes into much greater depth regarding the attempt of the Red Cross to make the case that the United States is liable for not adhering to the unsigned, unratified Protocol I. of the 4th Geneva Convention. Protocol I. was a project of European leftists sympathetic to Third World revolutionaries and Soviet bloc diplomats back in the 1970's to create legal double-standards for leftist guerillas in their struggles against Western and pro-Western governments. Even the Carter administration found this proposed, special-pleading rule-set to be laughable but NGO's are using Protocol I. as a battering ram to try and make future American interventions impossible or if possible, unsuccessful and legally suspect.
