I wasn't really sure why you picked the XYZ affair...there was a few issues swirling around. The one that I was responding to was Congressional approval/State of Declared War. If I wanted to be very picky about Declared War, then Korea and Vietnam weren't wars. Technically, I would be correct, but I wouldn't want to stand in front of a Vietnam or Korean vet and say "Those weren't really wars". Back to the XYZ Affair. You quote... Congress armed privateers, commissioned an army, and ordered new ships built That makes me happy. It satisfies the intent of Congressional authorization for war. jttmab
