" War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off. "
― Ursula K. Le Guin , A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, #1)
