Ted, Tell it to the founding fathers........I don't think they will buy your proxy substitution. Don't get me wrong. I favor the requirement for formal declaration of war. I think we should have had a formal declaration of war against Iraq, not just congressional approval for use of force. And I think we should have declared war on Afghanistan (and al-Qaeda at the same time) right after 9/11. But at the same time, I have to point out that Clinton didn't even get the congressional approval for use of force. He went to war on his own (curiously just days after he was accused of rape by a credible accuser). And it is not like these actions were split second decision. It as a deliberate attempt over days weeks and even months that lead to hostilities, so there is no excuse for Congress neglecting its duty. Joe
