Leftists are surely in a quandary over the Libya War. It was building up over the formerly "good war" of Afghanistan, but this current not-really-war-because-a-Nobel Peace Prize-winner-is-doing-it has hammered the point home.
And the administration's long-standing refusal to call terrorism "terrorism" and war "war" has led to some snark over the latest quasi war. But I'm not satisfied with “Make love, not time-limited, scope-limited military actions!” for a new anti-war bumper sticker.
Wouldn't it be better to say, "Make time-limited (sorry), commitment-limited (again, sorry) mutual arousal actions, not time-limited, scope-limited military actions!”
