The U.S. Has Been Involved In More Than 5 Wars

WRONG, Those were all United Nations Peacekeeping missions, we have not “Officially” been at “WAR” since WWII.

Yep. And that could be part of the problem. Perhaps if we are not sufficiently threatened to declare war, we shouldn't get boots-on-the-ground involved at all.

IMHO, Bush II should have declared war against the Taliban right after 9/11. He should have asked for an actual war resolution, not some vague authorization to use force. We were sufficiently threatened.

But were we also that sufficiently threatened by Saddam? I don't think so.
