exactly, Peace.

Seems there was this soccer player from Italy who kept harassing this other soccer player from France....after awhile, the French one head-butted the Italian.

Who is at fault, the one who kept poking, or the one who over-reacted?

That's right...**BOTH**....the metaphor only goes so far, but when the entire area is a smoldering ruin unfit for ANYONE, I'm sure it will be of great solice to know *THEIR* leaders didn't back down.
