Thus it may be argued that circumstances have so fundamentally changed since 1945, when the UN Charter was adopted, that the “armed attack” restriction can no longer be taken literally. Clearly, the threat of large-scale terrorism with weapons of mass destruction was not foreseen when the Charter was drawn up, and one could argue that the other conditions of the Vienna Convention allowing suspension of a treaty obligation under changed circumstances have been met as well.

Then let him argue it before the UN and have the Charter changed. That is so unbelievably short-sighted and a such a superficial rationalization that it verges on insulting.
