[Vision2020] Say What?

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings visionaires -

I have decided to present this "Say What" as a challenge.

The following statement was made on December 10, 2002 by a person well 
known here in Vandalville.

Who said . . .

-------------------------------

"We are certainly going to war in Iraq, and we are doing so in order to 
accomplish "regime change." This is a traditional war, in the old-
fashioned sense of the word. Any attempt to do this without an express 
declaration of war on the part of Congress is therefore unconstitutional. 
Congress, and only Congress, declares war. It is not the prerogative of 
the commander-in-chief. It is not the prerogative of the United Nations. 
Congress declares war. The Constitution does permit the president to some 
sorts of limited military action without such a declaration (e.g. Barbary 
pirates, bin-Laden), but to overthrow the government of another sovereign 
nation without a declaration of war is constitutional impudence, plain and 
simple."

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
