My opinion is that a Declaration of War is an act of the People of the United States, acting through their representatives in Congress assembled.
Such a Declaration should be unambiguous, and should commit the necessary resources to victory.
I am a complete and wholehearted supporter of the President and his actions in the war on terrorism. But I share the well-expressed concerns of others that the Joint Resolution of last Fall allows Congressthings to turn their backs on both Bush (not so important)and our soldiers when the going gets tough.
This is exactly what happened in Vietnam when the "Tonkin Gulf Resolution" failed to bear the weight that was placed on it.
We the People do support our President and our armed forces, we do support making war on the Government of Iraq in order to destroy it and cause it to be replaced by another, better government.
The appropriate vehicle for us to give voice to our support is not demonstrations at NASCAR events or forums like this one-it is for us to act through our representatives and to declare war.
