Everyone's usuing the term. What does it mean?
A lifting of limits, perhaps.
It's a claim often made by opponents of powerful groups that they are to all intents and purposes at war with them, and that this justifies an 'any means necessary' approach in the face of overwhelming odds.
What this ignores is the horrid possibility that the larger force will bring its full might to bear on the issue. Which looks likely now.
Harbouring will be equated with supporting and acting, we are told. Which means, pretty clearly, that the gloves are off. This action forces the recognition of a war-level conflict which, in the eyes of whoever did this, has been going on for some time.
I do wonder, however, whether they have acknowledged to themselves that the US has probably been, consciously or not, exercising restraint. |
