Yea I must say a lot of these responses show a very silly view of the world as if everything was black and white. I mean I'm not a personal fan of terrorists either, and given the situation I doubt I'd do the right thing either, but I'd swear some are suggesting not only threatening them to change their ways in exchange for medical attention, but even execute them right there on the ground. Is that right?
But as you've been saying, the Red Cross is trying to be neutral and just to be doctors giving medical attention to whoever is in need of it. To them, they are just all human beings in need of help. But as I said, not sure I would be able to do that. Guess these Red Cross guys are better men than me, and I'm alright admitting that. Thank you for at least putting some sense in this thread.
