Because, er, the AQ terrorists: Have NOT "declared war" against us,

Well, technically THAT isn't true. 1996 was it?

OBL laid out a declaration of what and why. One of the main reasons is that we are too morally weak, wimpy, and generally decadent to defend ourselves for long, and with a proper nudge we'll give up and collapse - pretty much the Dem party platform.

Just to be clear...you're dead on with the other criteria.

"OBL laid out a declaration of what and why"

OBL is not the head of any state that is recognized by any international body.
It's like saying Jack The Ripper has declared war on the United States.
