But about Brown's proposed surrender of war powers to Parliament, think about it! The power to declare WAR should not rest in the hands of one person, for history repeatedly has shown that nations have suffered the deaths of countless of its citizens and also the huge financial burdens of unnecessary wars, just to satisfy the vanity, false pride and/or excessive ego of one unbalanced leader. NO, let such an enormous decision be made by many people, not just one.
Remember the wisdom provided in the U.S. Constitution that REQUIRES war to be declared by Congress, NOT the President. Events of the past 15 years unequivocally show the sorry results of letting one man make that decision.
Granted, most all U.S. Senators and Representatives have violated their oath of office and ignored their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution in respect to this principle (to their eternal damnation), but the principle is sound, even though the congressmen show they are not.
“Regarding your statement that “We managed to take the Falklands Islands...”, those islands rightly belonged to Argentina, period. Any objective study of the history of the Falklands Islands situation will come to that conclusion.”
Bahaha! Not really within the scope of this thread, but I just wanted to take time out to laugh at this!
“The power to declare WAR should not rest in the hands of one person”
Yes, that’s what I said.
“Remember the wisdom provided in the U.S. Constitution that REQUIRES war to be declared by Congress, NOT the President.”
It was me that pointed that out above.
Actually it’s kinda hard to tell whether you think you’re agreeing with me or arguing with me. But maybe it’s just because I’m still distracted by laughing at your views on the Falklands.
The people who live there would beg to disagree.
