Jochem,
Can I say you hit upon what is probably my only real problem with
this war. What happened to the declaration of war? Where in the
constitution does it give congress the ability to pass off that power to the
executive branch?
Pisses me off :)

The funny thing is that arguing so is a moral crusade in itself.

Not leading, but isn't declaring war the prerogative of Congress?
