To: Chancellor Palpatine
NOT a United Nations "resolution" ordering us to go to war. We are a sovereign nation. We act under OUR law, not at the direction of a foreign power.

"...Bush Senior busted his hump to put a coalition of allies together, and got that resolution out of the UN so we could go in with the support of international structures. The US wasn't "ordered" to go in by the UN..."
# 57 by Chancellor Palpatine

*************************

Bush Sr. should have busted his hump getting a Declaration of War from our Congress, instead of illegally delegating our war-making power to the United Nations.

A war only needs the approval of Congress. There is no need for the "support of international structures."

The United States went to war to enforce a United Nations resolution.

I have a problem with that.

Isn't this simply a matter of semantics?Had the resoltuions passed giving Bush congressional approval in 90-91 been declarations of war,you would have been ok with that?I don't think there is near as much "there" there as you think.
