Every generation has it’s own form of Weapons of Mass of Destruction as well as it’s own case of selective outrage over there application.
One of your aeroplanes flew over Kabul and bombarded our Royal Palace, thereby causing great excitement and panic among our loyal people. Many other favourite buildings in our offical quarter and unprotected town were bombed. it is a matter for great regret that the throwing of bombs by zeppelins on London was denounced as a most savage act and the bombardment of places of worship and sacred spots was considered a most abominable operation, while now we see with our own eyes that such operations were a habit which is prevalent among all civilised people of the west.
