Quote by Eric A. Posner

“It is not realistic to put legal constraints on war powers. Law works through general prospective rules that apply to a range of factual situations. International relations and national security are too fluid and unpredictable to be governed by a set of legal propositions that command general assent secured in advance. Laws governing war make us feel more secure but they don’t actually make us more secure”

“Protectionist measures may permit domestic industries to thrive, which under free trade would wither in the face of cheap imports.
