Thanks to all for the correction and reproof - really, I mean it. Whenever I am wrong I do appreciate it whenever someone points out my inaccuracy (especially when they do so in as a tactful manner as each of you did) - so thanks.

I didn't know the Russians has developed a hollow underneith the jacket that causes the bullet to 'deform' - trust the Russians to think of that one.

Regarding the Geneva Convention and the beheadings, I am beginning to think we are the only ones to do conform to International Convention.

I know I have heard of the Hague Convention before but simply "spaced it" so - thanks to each of you...

While I'm making "corrections" I'll correct myself while I'm at it. :)

It appears the most applicable part of the Hague Convention of 1899 isn't what I quoted in my earlier response but is instead Declaration III which can be found here.

"Laws of War : Declaration on the Use of Bullets Which Expand or Flatten Easily in the Human Body; July 29, 1899"

I was close, but still not really correct.
