Well put, Don. I respect the opinions of those who think that the circumstances justify a war, even though I vehemently disagree. When I hear someone say that we should shut up and support whatever the President decides to do in this regard, however, that drives me nuts. That attitude doesn't express patriotism. It basically turns the American Revolution on its head, abdicates the responsibility of the citizenry and ignores the distribution of powers in the Constitution, where it was contemplated that Congress would make such decisions.

Not that I feel strongly about this or anything....
