Re: [eia] issues to be addressed

I am considering changing my vote,but I have one question first.  Does the 
wording allow a violated power to declare war on the intruder even if under a 
restricted peace ?  I realize there may be other reasons why the offended party 
could not declare war, such as having enemies inside the homenation, etc.  But 
I do not approve of the rule if a restricted peace allows someone to tramp 
through another's territory without threat of war.  I know the PP cost would be 
a deterent anyway,but the possibility of starting a war would be the "clincher" 
that would make forcible access OK with me.
