I don't think there were "rules of war" then.

I am sure there are current views on the causes of the delusional behaviour of King George III - but I am not aware of any view that Alzheimers was such a cause. His legendary "prodigious stools" are I think a clue to a specific illness but I forget what.

As to terrorism, I think Kat has it precisely right. NB that makes the IRA a terrorist organisation and the US courts wrong in their findings that they were not.
