What a great headline: FRANCE INVADES VATICAN CITY

And that should be OK under international law. Since Vatican City wants to be a real, independent nation for purposes of meddling in the business of other nations. Especially when it comes to the rights of women, gays and other people who don't live anywhere near Vatican Nation.

Want the benefits of being a separate country? Then you can take the consequences as well.

And finally, those damn Swiss Guards would earn their pay. They've been lollygagging around the Vatican since the 15th century, collecting mercenary wages for doing pretty much nothing. Except posing for tourist photos.
