Actually, no, it would be like your neighbour and you having a fundamental disagreement about the boundaries of where your property ends and you both bringing in a bunch of lawyers to resolve the issue.

I wasn't responding to you specifically but more in general on the topic. There's a reason wars happen and it's silly to just say "War is not acceptable!"
