Whatever the U.S. government decides to do you will support. The morality or constitutionality of the matter at hand is irrelevant to people like yourself suspend all actual moral considerations and who believe ultimate morality lies with an institution like the U.S. government that has proven itself to be completely lacking in anything resembling morality as demonstrated by decades of immoral actions from Viet Nam to Panama to Iraq. If you do not believe rape and murder are moral, why support the war in Iraq that has lead to just such actions by U.S. servicemen? A moral person would say I can not support such actions and can not support the persons engaging in such actions, not matter what the context. The Constitution clearly states that the power to declare war lies with the Congress. It can't be more black and white than that. Both Democrats and Republicans alike have ignored this consitutional mandate. Just because they are not enforcing it, does not mean the checks and balances are working properly. It means they are being ignored by war mongering politicians. This war was not constitutionally declared, and therefore has no consitutional or legal justification. This war and the shifting justifications to support it is what dictatorships engage in, not constitutional republics. It tells one a lot about where we actually are at this point in our history.
