Are you trying to say that Congress has not debated this issue of War against Iraq?
We elect our represenatives in Congress to make informed decisions on National Security issues. Some of the info they have can not be shared with the public.
Try this "novel" idea....... On issues of War and Peace. These decisions are made by Congress and not by reforendum or town hall meeting. Congress has authorized our Commander-in-Chief to take whatever action neccessary to defend this nation and our National interest as well as defending our allies.

You must be joking...you mean have the Congressional staffers debated among themselves about the War against Iraq?
If you knew anything about what REALLY happens inside the beltway, you would know that Congress is too busy running around trying to fulfil the careerist agendas to seriously debate anything...that's why they have staffers!
Hell, 99% of Congress didn't read one page of the so-called "Patriot Act" before they voted on it.
Of course, Presidential "Emergency Powers" give Bush just about all of the license for action in Iraq he needs without even consulting Congress anyway...
For some reason Stavka's questions remind me of questions like;
Why did the CIA over-throw democracy in Iran and install the Shah?
Why did we re-install a totalitarian monarchy in Kuwait after freeing it from Iraq in 1991?

Is this why our borders are still open? This is his method of defense?
