WW 1 was started with an official declaration of war. A piece of paper reading "We hereby declare war on your country at Friday Noon" or something like that. I think there was no official declaration of war since World War 2 (which didn't start with a DOW, Hitler took Poland and hoped they'd declare the war to make him…
As Goering said, he people don't want war because your average guy has nothing to win from a war and all to lose. The trick is making him believe he has something to lose from not going to war, i.e. make him believe we're under attack.
[ QUOTE ] Innocent people died in 9/11, and innocent soldiers are dieing everyday because of this mans greed. Hitler did EXACTLY the same thing to start the second world war by torching the (I don't know the name) building, killing his own people and blaming it on terrorists. He then convinced the country that they should…
[ QUOTE ] regardless, define a "legal" war for me first, since when did countries start asking for legal permission to start a war? name ONE war where both countries were all "Heck yes, lets kick eachothers asses!"

Foe true Saddam was a bad guy but this war was sold to all of us as an imminant threat which had to be taken care of, the information was a lie atthe worst and a horrendous mistake at the least, there are 2 true imminant threats at the moment and Iraq isnt it, its North Korea and Iran.

well the problem keyser is that in this country our media tends to undereport,distort and spin stories so many americans dont often get a good perpective on whats going on. for example when kofi annon suggested that this war might be an illegal war all of the pundits and news commentators called the alligations…
its what angers me about the american media until this day, they were cheerleaders in all of this, you will never see a mainstream reporter bring any of this up and take them to task. after all of the info proved to be false,they turned it from search of WMD's to the "forefront on the war on terror" if Clinton would have…
