    I'm not very thrilled with those arguments either, though. Sure, it's
    true that he signed the armistice and violated it, but frankly I
    think such niceties of international law /should/ be as officially
    meaningless as they are in reality. An honest anarchy is far
    superior to the pretense of law, and recognizing the validity of the
    disarmament agreement would be to recognize the legitimacy of the UN.
