>>To say nothing in opposition to those who believe the US acted illegally, is tantamount to surrender by silence.<< Most of the arguments are not that the US acted illegally, but that Bush acted illegally. After all, almost everybody who is running for President on the Democratic ticket, except for Howard Dean and Al Sharpton, are members of Congress, which authorized the use of force in Iraq, aka "declared war" (it amounts to the same thing). I suppose the argument is that Bush hornswoggled Congress, although, as I have pointed out repeatedly, gliding over the fact that if so, Clinton hornswoggled Congress, as well. Oh, well, such is rhetoric. It need bear only the slimmest relationship to fact in order to be effective.
