I went for a drive today, and I saw a bumper sticker on the back of someone's car that read, "War Is Not The Answer." I had to wonder to myself, "If war is not the answer, what is the question?" I gave it some thought, and here are some of the questions that I guess the question is not:

1. What does W-A-R spell?
2. What is it that anti-war protesters hate? (Look a little deeper into this one, and I think you'll find some humor in the expression 'anti-war protester'.
3. How did America earn its independence from England?
4. What is the name of that card game where you each flip over your top card, and whoever has the highest card gets to keep both cards?

I don't usually go on political rants, but this bumper sticker annoyed me, less because of the political statement they were trying to make, and more because of the blanket statement that without context is quite frankly nonsensical. So, for those who have that bumper sticker, I have one question: Are you so diametrically opposed to the concept of war that you would fight someone to end it once and for all? As much as I would love to avoid war, my take is that war itself is not the enemy.
