What I'm saying is that using the military to save Americans in direct danger from a communist uprising is very different from air strikes to support an Al-Qaeda uprising. The war powers act isn't very important to me compared to the constitutional principles of declaring war, and in these two cases one is a clear cut act of war while the other is was an defense.
