I was typing up old poems and putting them in a folder when I came to "Horace and the Preparation for war." http://www.lawrencehelm.com/2010/08/horace-and-preparation-for-war.html Lefty, aka Billy Blogblather, didn't object to that representation of his ideas, if I recall correctly; so I can't help but wonder what he thinks of Obama's bombing of Libya. Lefty, as was the case with most of Western Europe, heralded Obama as the inaugurator of world peace and Welfare-Stateism. Western Europe has made the transition from anti-war, anti-Bush, to pro-war against Libya much as Obama has, but I wonder about Lefty. Did he make the transition as well?
