The thinking behind such movements... is always the same: New laws will
somehow deter people who were perfectly willing to break old laws. Perhaps
the greatest example of such a mindset was the Kellogg-Briand Pact,
which "outlawed" war. "Now, why hasn't anybody thought of outlawing war
before?" the intellectual class seemed to ask itself, smacking its
collective head in what amounted to an international "V8 moment."
