Not feeble at all, outside the U.S. it is well know we are fine with collateral damage to further our own interests, and quite often have done so over the last hundred years. Water boarding violated international law, but we never were held accountable. We admitted we broke international law by bombing a hospital on purpose (And we did admit it was on purpose, flight recordings prove that), but still weren't held accountable. The whole point is we choose which rules we follow in times of war so why can't other countries?
Not disagreeing, but just a clarification. The military can attack a hospital if it is being misused by the enemy for military purposes or if you're receiving fire from it. Even then you should limit the damage if possible.
