Blinding Flash of the Obvious - II
Oh, those observant French! In a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious) moment, the French Prime Minister has declared that war would split the international community! He also declared that it would be illegitimate.
I wonder if anyone has ever told the good prime minister that war always involves two nations (even when one is just the French throwing their hands in the air). By definition there would have to be a split it the international community for a war to occur. And the nation that is attacked will always declare the was to be an illegitimate infringement on their internal affairs. I don’t think that there is a nation in the world that would accept an attack on it as legal.
I wonder if the next pronouncement will be something along the lines of the fact that the Iraqi desert has sand in it. Where we would be without the help of allies like this?
