Last time we were bombing the Serbs, the not-war lasted longer than
the 30 days that a president can play with his guns legally. No
one complained.
The meaning of war changes. War on drugs; war on domestic terrorism;
a judge farts, and you're under martial law.
The problem is that the constitution is bent to whim these days.
We have always been at war with Oceania.
