That was my point.

But none have been supplied so I have not been corrected. In fact, my argument has been bolstered.

It's not the logic that's in dispute, it's the evidence or facts. Chomskyans argue that the US can do whatever it wants and does so, but hold on ... here's an instance where the unilateralists had to back down. Maybe things are changing in the post-cold war world.... If so you won't read about it in Z until it's a little more obvious.
