Since when did the Declaration of Independence become law.  This is a
letter to King George II of England declaring our Independence on the
4th of July of 1776?  It is law, never has been and never will.

You would think by now as much as we have learned from war that war
should always be used is a last resort.  War kills innocent people.
Just look at the Vietnam Police Action -- we commonly call it the
Vietnam War but the US never formally declared war... I seem to
remember a Lt. Kelly that killed a bunch of innocent women and
children.  War should only be used when diplomacy fails.
