Declaration of War

[The_Rorschach]

So we caught Hussein and now, almost twenty four hours after his apprehension, we are discussing trying him for human rights violations.

But where are the weapons of mass destruction? The Media isn't even mentioning them. Have we all accepted that they never existed? And if so, doesn't that make the necessity for a formal declaration of war before any military action under taken by the US all the more necessary?

And where is our public apology to Syria, for having accused her of harbouring Saddam, along with his weapons of mass destruction and scientists who had worked on the programs. . .

Maybe I should be more jubilant, but I simply don't see the big deal. We have Hussein. Great. He wasn't coordinating attacks against our troops, he wasn't supplying anyone with weapons or monies. . .So what, in the end, do we have except a famous name?

I don't know that we have anything.

EDIT: This is primarily concerned with debating responsibility and hype in regards to Hussein, which seemed like a deviation from the general theme of the other Hussein Thread
