Let's see now....
The President proudly declares himself the "War President." However, the only institution in our country that has the power to declare war--Congress--has decline to do so.
Sure, they passed the "Patriot Act" but they haven't declared war. Now our "war president" is rallying the troops for yet another skirmish in Iran.
The fact of the matter is that the "War President" is merely a "War President" for political advantage. It's sad to think that more than half of the people in our country has fallen for it hook, line and sinker at one time or another. Let's hope they don't take the bait once again.
Metafilter has some interesting dialogue on the current Iran missives:
"Considering a war with Iran: A discussion paper on WMD in the Middle East" (PDF). A new study by two British scholars claims that the United States has the capacity for and may be prepared to launch a massive assault on Iran. This comes just in time for the post Labor Day product rollout.
