And, sadly, Congress has not declared war. Supposedly over the lack of a "state" to declare war against. Dumping the duty on the "Imperial President"?
Congress is not really wrong. Afghanistan can barely be called a legitimate state, and declaring war on it is actually paying it a compliment it doesn't deserve. What exactly Bush is doing is hard to say. We are really just engaging in the actions of a Colonial power, or perhaps, more accurately, one of the leading goals of the men who formed the Southern Confederacy in 1861. That was the right of American citizens to engage in the active overthrow of foreign states and governments for financial gain.
One of these days, if he isn't killed too early, Bin Laden will wake up and realize he did something really stupid. He didn't wake the sleeping giant, he awoke the sleeping evil of 100% pure soulless capitalism and adventurism. Capitalism lies at the heart and soul of our greatness, but unchained by conscience and social responsibility, you don't want to move in anywhere near you.
