Back when SecState John Kerry ran against "W" in 2004, he made some ridiculous statement about "Global tests" during a debate moderated by Jim Lehrer
LEHRER: New question. Two minutes, Senator Kerry.
What is your position on the whole concept of preemptive war?
KERRY: The president always has the right, and always has had the right, for preemptive strike. That was a great doctrine throughout the Cold War. And it was always one of the things we argued about with respect to arms control.
No president, though all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America.
But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.
I went right online and bought one of my favorite items of clothing, evah!!! It's a sweatshirt of Uncle Sam superimposed over a UN logo pointing & saying "I DON'T DO GLOBAL TESTS". It's been eleven years, so when people ask I explain it's a belligerent retort to an obscure political statement.
Anyway, if you did believe in them.....the test took place in Paris, France over the weekend.
Kerry didn't even show up - his grade?

This reminds me of the Calvin Klein sweatshirt I've had for 22 years. It no longer has any sort of trim around the neck or waist, but we're together for life at this point.
He was probably wind-surfing somewhere.
