I'll have to disagree with you on this one.... I believe that a nation CAN 'make war' on non-nations or non-state-actors... and I believe that the converse is equally true: non-state actors can make war on nations as well. (Even if this state of affairs doesn't exactly fit in the 19th. & 20th. century 'rule book' defining the 'sovereign powers' of nation-states, recognized under international law.) In case you haven't reflected on these points much recently: when was the LAST TIME you saw a country actually DECLARE a war, anyway? And, with all the crap language about 'war on drugs', 'war on poverty', 'war on AIDS', 'war on what-have-you'... I'd say that the old rule books were torn up a long time ago.
