Absurdly concocted coalitions which can not do anything for fear of upsetting one of the members, and which collapse frequently, were the first thing that made me think this. This helps confirm it. You really do need a government to go to war, otherwise almost anything seems to work OK - Italy and Belgium are the best examples over the last 50 years.

While others celebrated it, and still others probably shrugged their shoulders :-) Good pics, Alan, that goes without saying!
