As you can not define addiction it can not satisfy the
definition.
But if you want my case, you are presuming being able to
describe tobacco with a term you neither understand nor can
define means something. I hold it can only mean something to
sloppy thinkers.

I am not aware the UN has an issue in Bosnia either. I know
of no place in its charter where it says there shall be no war.
The UN and the US for that matter screwed up royally recognizing
all the new little countries before the dust had settled. Now
they have not the wisdom to recognize a diplomatic error.
And in a practical sense most wars are over with before the
UN can get its act together. You don’t see the UN jumping into
Rwanda do you?
