Please point me to the congressional declaration of war. With whom are we at war; the Sunni, the Shiite, the insurgents, the kurds, the Islamics? We can't be at war with Terrorist, because the term is to broad; to undefined. Terrorism is a tactic, usually violent, used to protest against a perceived wrong, and is brought to bear by apply pressure for change, and a terrorist is one who commits acts of terrorism.
Who is a terrorist, and who is not. Who will eventually become a terrorist, and can some kind of preemptive war be used against a perceived condition that might someday in the future become terrorism. Usually in war there is a clearly defined enemy; usually a country with an army. Name the country and army with which we are at war. Act of terrorism are crimes; not war. Terrorism exits world wide. Terrorism knows no boundary, no border, it carries no flag, no alliance to any country, no army to defeat, no command-in-chief with whom to negotiate a surrender, no structure within which a "terms of surrender" can be enforced. What is going on in Iraq is not war. Saddam Hussein's army was defeated, just prior to President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. The war with Iraq only lasted a few days. Terrorism can only effective be addressed as a crime against the country within which it the crime occurred. To confront terrorism with war has been a disaster.
