This Day in the History of Serious Self-Delusion
On this day in 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Pact was signed by 15 nations, outlawing war as a means to settle international disputes. All it really did was weaken the 'good' nations and allow the bad ones, Germany and Japan, to prepare for war, which they nearly won because of their head-start in armament (and because they were good at fighting). This is an important lesson for the silly, Utopian and pacifist lefties out there. A piece of paper prevents war not at all; a well prepared army and navy does.
