Our "forefathers" forbade war?
Really?
When they do that?
Was it before or after they choose to go to war with Great Britain to gain their independence and then again in 1812?

I assume that was after judging by the content of the post.
I would like to add, though... When we won against the Brits, the world was not such a developed place that could send missiles at us and blow us into smithereens! We were much more protected by the atlantic ocean than we are now.

You mean why Bush went to war with Iraq without inventing the WMDs lie? He could have done that because America allowed war?
Of course, they had to war for their independence, and they have to war if they are directly attacked or threatened. They forebade war unless directly threatened naturally. They are not going to stand there and get attacked.
First off, your solely referencing "Bush" is ludicrous.
Seekerof: Secondly, the Bush Administration was given such approval.
Seekerof: Thirdly, this has been hashed and rehashed so many times already within ATS, it is doubly ludicrous to discuss it again.

Seekerof: Ironic that the 'forefathers' "forbade" war only after they started two, huh?
Seekerof: I do not recall that in either case, the 'forefathers' or this nation were directly attacked or threatened. Must be a matter of perspective, huh, kind of like it would be in interpreting if the US was "attacked or threatened" prior to and after 9/11?
