Recently members of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta have been attacked and killed by "terrorists" (read: martyred by the Muhammadans). That's certainly bad, and I think we can all support the Grand Master's assertion:
"It is essential that those involved in medical, hospital and health care projects for the victim populations of armed conflicts or civil wars, scrupulously respect the principles of humanity, impartiality and neutrality, independent of any political or partisan consideration."
It does, however, rub me the wrong way that the Grand Master of a Sovereign Military Order, an order of Knights is begging for the members of his Order to be left alone. C'mon, Fra Bertie. What kind of Knights do you want in your order?
