in case you're not familiar with the parlance of certain members of the hawkish right, "to act" is defined as "to bomb the shit out of." not bombing the shit out of a country is what they call "inaction."
it's a pretty simple-minded way of looking at the world, where 99% of what countries do to one another counts as absolutely nothing and where the only thing that is valued is killing people. when mccain talks like this, it just reminds me how incredibly lucky we are that he will never be president.
