Which brings to mind a quote by Huxley
"An intellectual is someone who has found something more
interesting than sex"
Aldous Huxley

Law and War
which is sort off topic but which unfortuneately brings us to a profound problem related to the thread being "is war equal to or above the law?

A truce? I'm in!
A truce means we can still hurt people but it's an "unfortunate complication of the current environment" instead of a "carefully planned and executed military operation," right? I'm all for everything unfortunate!

War is the continuation of diplomacy by other means, Clausewitz said. Unfortunately some see it as a substitute for any diplomacy at all, a means whereby law can be dispensed with. War is fundamentally illegal.swanny said:

I'll have you note that arms sales, weapons of mass destruction sales and sling shot sales are down and chocolate, wine and beer sales are up....
