Obama clearly stated he attacked Libya based on his authority through the War Powers Act correct?

What he is referring to the War Powers resolution of 1973 is actually a congressional law which does not override our Constitution. Therefore, one could agree that this resolution is unconstitutional. Now had the US invaded Libya or implemented the "No Fly" zone on its own without Congressional approval, then that would have been an act of war, and without Congressional approval would be considered a misuse of power on the part of the President.

This current action has UN approval and under International law isn't consider an act of war. Our allies and the Libyans asked for some assistance from the world community and a majority of House and Senate members supported the US participation in the air strikes. Should it come to a time that the "No Fly" strategy isn't working and ground troops are needed, and the Libyan people request such an act, and the US wants to participate, then the President along with the House and Senate will decide.

It is getting tiresome having people who know nothing more than what they have heard someone else say try to pass themselves off as experts. My bet is you have no idea what you are talking about. It is amazing how many people think they are so much smarter than the President and his advisers.

That comes from listening to radical FOX talk show hosts.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
