Can you point me to that clause in the Constitution that says only countries with the ability to launch nuclear missles at the United States qualify as enemies?Can you point to me that clause in the Constitution that says countries with fourth rate armies that are only a direct threat to their neighbors which are all thousands of miles away qualifies in any way as an enemy of these United States? And please none of that 'national interest' malarkey. By that argument we should have probably bombed half of Eastern Europe anytime between 1948-1985
"Can you point to me that clause in the Constitution that says countries with fourth rate armies that are only a direct threat to their neighbors which are all thousands of miles away qualifies in any way as an enemy of these United States?" Remember this?

I remember 1 Million US troops with a full complment of Nuclear and Conventional weapons sitting outside the Iron Curtain ready to turn any and every thing on the other side to dust if need be. National interest is far more than just protecting our borders. Even your hero Jefferson understood that when he attacked a fourth rate North African "power" which presented no threat whatsoever to the US mainland --- without a congressional declaration of war I might add. He did the exact right thing while the European powers all looked on in amazement at our "arrogance".
