“Don't be ridiculous. It (gas) was outlawed at the Hague Convention," I said.
I actually said that. I actually believed that the principles of our civilisation, our civilisation that has developed further than any other in the history of the world, giving us telephones and trains and flying, for God's sake, we can fly. I thought, surely such a civilisation, that prides itself on conquering the beast in man and seeks only to bend towards beauty and prosperity, surely, surely, surely, it would not shatter in such a vile and disgusting way.
The Hague Convention sought to make war more humane. We had reached a point in history where we believed it was possible to make war humane.”
― In Memoriam
