The Geneva Convention. The interesting thing is, as a nation reliant on neutrality to support their banking system, Switzerland makes money as long as people are alive to support them. Even more money when there is a war on and their secretive accounting methods will allow trade that would otherwise be impossible. So it's in their best interest, financially, to have long term conflicts going on. They sweat being invaded, but that's why they've got such an extensive militia and restrictive citizenship requirements.

I've absolutely had it with the Geneva Convention. I've had it with limited warfare.


In related news, the Lebanese Army has been getting good results with artillery. I've been saying this for years. When they ship you ten quassams, you ship them 1000 rocket-assisted artillery shells for $7000 apiece, and you make sure you draw out the bombardment so people never get the chance to sleep.
