Silly, sexist me. Yesterday, I associated military action against Libya with testosterone. As the New York Times reports today, the pressure for action came from Hillary Clinton, UN Ambassador Susan Rice and the NSC human rights expert Samantha Power — with the macho boys over at the Pentagon opposed. This may be a first in American history, a welcome one I might add — although I remain extremely skeptical about military action and heartened that the President seems intent on letting other countries take the lead.
