No, I mean going to war. There has never been, to my knowledge, an actual vote, by the people, on whether or not we should go to war.

How can something done today, soil/undo what was done yesterday?

Your logic is not clear.

I do not recall a "vote" by each colonist to go war against Great Britain.

Nor do I recall a vote by the citizens of the nation to go to war against Nazi Germany and Totalitarian Japan.

You seem to be one of those people who conveniently forget we were attacked on 9/11/01 and many previous times before that.

The Iraq front is a CAMPAIGN OF A GREATER WAR.

Should the citizens of this nation have voted on the Italian front in WWII, how about the Normandy front or the Island Hopping strategy.

Iraq is a military front line just as Afghanistan is.

We elect Presidents for one significant purpose. To defend the nation. That is what a Presidents job is to do. Not blow with the wind, but defend the nation.

Sheesh
