According to our Founding Fathers and the Constitution they created, the only people who can order our men and women to go to war are the people’s representatives in the U.S. Congress. It is Congress, and only Congress, that has the duty, the right, and the legal obligation to make that decision.
Yet our President is more guided by what the moral lepers in the Arab League and the United Nations think than our elected representatives here at home.
Without a declaration of war, U.S. military actions in Libya are unconstitutional. Period. In a saner world, Congress would be drawing up the articles of Obama’s impeachment as you read this.
But no, that’s not what our empire-building elitists want. We’re supposed to be the policeman of the world. Or to quote that same odious Journal editorial again:
One reason to intervene in Libya is to show the Assads and Ahmadinejads that the West is willing and able to act against tyrants who slaughter their own people.
