If we were to look back at the history of war, which we could spend a longer time doing than the one minute that I am allowed, we might see that frequently what is perceived as disproportionate or what is perceived more along the lines of what the hon. member has said, is that escalation is frequently in the eyes of the person who would make the judgment call.
Si on faisait un aperçu historique des guerres, ce qui me prendrait plus que la minute dont je dispose, on constaterait peut-être que ce qui est souvent perçu comme disproportionné ou, pour reprendre les mots du député, comme une escalade dépend souvent du regard que porte une personne.
