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.

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.

It's a question of LAW.
Our law is based upon the Constitution. Any war conducted without following the strictures of the Constitution is illegal.
If Bush was my sovereign, I might disagree with his decision, but I wouldn't say that going to war on his decision alone was illegal.
Unfortunately for Bush, we live in a Republic.
