Logically, that Lebanese medics are either suicidal death cult members or that their association with the enemies of the west's favorite fascist apartheid regime makes it acceptable to murderously prevent them from treating injured people.

Either way, we're not dealing with the sharpest spoon in the forest nor someone with a functioning moral compass.

"The sharpest spoon in the forest" is a great phrase btw

Thanks, I'm quite fond of it myself and use it whenever it's applicable 😁

I don't think crucifix had any of that, specifically, in mind. Seeing as the song was written a long time ago (the 80s.)

But the message that humanity has a tremendous capacity for self-destruction? Totally.
