What was so hard about declaring war the way the Constitution spells out?

You're getting close to the real issue here.

I would rephrase the question as "Why won't Congress declare war, and why doesn't the administration want them to?"

The administration didn't ask Congress to drop its pending declaration of war for no good reason. Are we afraid to ask why?

Is an insurance policy good enough reason to ingore the Constitution? We blow billions on everything under the sun, how about compensating the WTC owners if the insurance policy becomes invalid if Congress does its duty?

Or is there an even more insidious reason, one we're all wary of: A real declaration of war means that one day, war powers would end. And some people desperately don't want that to ever happen.

Yep, and I think possibly the "insurance policy holders" go hand in hand with the questions that we don't want to ask. If the policies were null with a declaration of war, and the government(tax payers) didn't bail them out, then there would be thousands looking for the truth because of anger.
