"If Iraq was the only target, perhaps this article would have a point...Afghaistan was step one. Iraq is step two. If the other countries in the region do not get the message, then one of them will be step three.
We are at war..."

WE are not at war. President Bush is at war.
If Congress wants to declare a war of conquest in the Middle East, they would have my full support.
Make it legal.
Have Congress DECLARE war.
Congress gave President Bush the authority to take what ever action he saw fit to deal with these terrorist. That is all the consitutional authority the President requires.
You are reduced to playing word games.
A state of war can exist, even without the Congress formally declaring it.
