Declaring war is unwise right now. This mega massacre broke all existing rules of warfare, and the conventional meaning of "declared war". The legal constrictions involved in a declared war do not suit Americas needs at present.

This is a global reaction to an atrocity, not some local broken treaty skirmish.

I disagree. The federal government does not have the right to over rule the US Constitution. To give it such authority places EVERYONE in danger, except government.

It has been done before in Korea, Viet Nam, Samolia, .... the list goes on and on. You can send you sons to die in an UNCONSTITIONAL war, but I won't. I'm a good parent.

You support the government trashing the Constitution whenever it serves THEIR purpose. I do not. If this was such a crisis, then the Congress would have had absolutely no problem quickly getting the votes it needs. In fact, it could still be done, but it's not even discussed. Why?
