But now you've got special forces, not standard infantry, fighting. Special Forces are were not created specifically for war, but for special purposes (thus the name). And we use our military all of the time for non-war purposes: the national guard, to guard embassies, etc. Wars are typically against a people occupying a land - you fight the war to get the land or prevent the people from getting yours. That's not this case. In this case the only real organization you've got is Al Quaeda who are policy wonks. This is very similar - if not the same - to Tim McVeigh who had a small organization of people that wanted government policy changed. Further, Congress declares war and, even if they wanted too, they couldn't. There's no person to declare war on. Afghanistan was a war and Iraq is a war, but neither have much to do with terrorism anymore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:205920 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
