This is intentional. When you declare on a player, _you_ also declare war
on all its allies. Its allies will not suffer any diplomatic penalties,
since they are merely honouring their alliance obligations.

However, the reputation penalty for such declarations of war on an entire
alliance might be a bit hard. I think perhaps nobody should suffer
reputation penalty when allies join the war.
