If bin-Laden were being held by the Taliban, and if the Taliban were to invite the FBI to slap the bracelets on him and drag him back to the US (big "ifs")then we would have to house the bastard in a federal prision and provide him with assistance in his defense as we brought him before the bar of justice.

And if we were to capture 50 of his highest level supporters, this scenario would be repeated 50 times.

If we declare war, then these bastards get to be slammed into POW camps. Perhaps these could be conveniently located outside of Barrow, Alaska, for their convenience.

Once in the POW camps, these individuals would be entitled to three squares a day and periodic mail delivery. And, as prisoners of war, they would be incarcerated for the duration of the war.

And the war wouldn't be over until WE say it's over.

Might take years! Decades, even.

Signed, bumped and emailed.

Thanks for this crucial link, Jeff.

A Congressional Act of War by The United States of America will open all military options and release all defeatist constraints in pursuing and punishing every last cell of International Killer Terrorists and their political co-conspirator supporters--the specific Mass Murderers of the WTC and all other terrorist factions world-wide.

TERRORISM UNDER ATTACK!

One problem with this. Nations do not declare wars on individuals or bandit groups. Wars are declared against sovereign states. A declaration of war against banditti grants them a dignity they do not deserve. Furthermore, it means that we must treat all captured terrorists as prisoners of war, giving them privileges not granted to criminals.

It is appropriate to use military force against bandits and pirates, even bandits and pirates pretending to be governments. We did that against pirates in the Carribean in the 18th and 19th Century. The British treated the destruction of Blackbeard as a naval operation (as opposed to a police action). We treated Pancho Villa as a bandit, not a nation, when we mobilized our army against him in 1914.

If we want to declare war on nations succoring terrorists responsible for this action (Afganistan, Pakistan, and Iraq come to mind), fine -- in fact great! Otherwise, simply authorize the President to mobilize the American armed forces against banditti. Declare war on nations that try to stop us, but don't grand bin Laden the dignity of treating him as a sovereign power.

Bump to the top

Jeff, several Congressmen, including Senators Biden and Warner, have said that there will be no declaration of war.

Public Notice

If your senator or representative is unwilling to vote for a declaration of war, ask him,

"Congressman, just what would it take for you to vote for a declaration of war?"

I signed it, my friend. I did so with the knowledge that war against Islamic countries will mean war with their allies, and that probably means war with China at the very least.

I hope there are no signers that think such a war will stay at isolated strikes against known terrorist locations. All who sign this document had better extrapolate an escalation and take personal responsibility for the end result.

Go Get Um! Remember Richard the Lionheart. On with the crusades (again). Do you want to Kill every Arab? Maybe we can get another RobinHood? Check Sherwood Forrest.
