Cyclopsie, Iraq and Saddam were identifiable enemy’s. Paul did propose a declaration of war in 2002 against Iraq, which I personally would have approved of, even though I know he’d vote against it.

But today a declaration of war is an ‘anachronism’, like most of the constitution. We just don’t do it anymore, instead we list a bunch of violated UN resolutions as justification. It seems like you are ok with that approach, am I correct?

This is good enough for me:Text of Joint Resolution On Iraq Passed By The United States Congress, 296-133 by the House of Representatives and 77-23 by the Senate on October 10 and 11, 2002: Joint Resolution to Authorize the use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq.
