...capricious" is capricious. Only absolute pacifism-or absolute idiocy-would insist that opposition to one war logically requires opposition to all wars, regardless of political or moral considerations. The Spanish Republic was elected by the Spanish people and was defending its right to exist. The Israelis are in a similar situation. We do not know what the Vietnamese think except that those most willing to die for their beliefs seem to be on the other side...

Under Louis XV, the grand gesture -that splendid self-expression of all royal stylists-degenerated so far that one royal prince built a marble mausoleum for a pet monkey named McCarthy. Similar distortions of value took place in more important aspects of public life. Diplomacy, once the French national art, so deteriorated that it came to fit the job description given by Beaumarchais, author of The Marriage of Figaro: "Spread spies, pension traitors, loosen seals, intercept letters...
