Blame Mr. Lincoln. He waged war for months in his own country with express warrant, even blockaded, his own ports. which was nonsense in terms of international law. Or blame FDR, or Truman, or Eisenhower, or...You get the picture. Besides, if Congress declares war, the it loses whatever control it has anyway. The emaer gency powers of the President have created a constitutional dicatorship. So declaration of war? Another scrape of paper.

No. That is a bogus picture. Because something was done wrong in the past does not make it ok now (See slavery, Native American genocide, etc.).

Besides, if Congress declares war, the it loses whatever control it has anyway.

Wrong. Congress controls the money - that includes money for war. If they want to stop the war, they stop the money. Right now we are spending our children's money to prepare for war - we are borrowing from the future. If we continue on this path, our country will be much weaker in the future because of oppressive debt! We were in trouble before this military action began, now we are just digging a deeper hole for ourselves and our future generations. That is not good leadership and therefore our leadership must change or be replaced or we will not prevail as a free nation.
