There Is Political Correctness....
...and then there is this.
Sometimes the correct answer to the question "Why do they hate us?" is "Because that are jerks, that's why."
The Red Cross and its Islamic cousin, the Red Crescent, could soon be joined by a Red Crystal. The move is an attempt to create a neutral emblem in an age of growing religious strife, in which aid workers have been attacked and the Red Cross headquarters in Baghdad bombed.Do you really think the attacks they cite were based on the presence of either a cross or a crescent symbol? Do you think just maybe the attacks came because the people who perpetrated them are an evil sadistic bunch of scum? Do you think such people will respect a "crystal" any more than the cross or crescent?
