To the editor:
NBC Nightly News' lead story tonight (June 19) says that Trump will "decide" whether to attack Iran within the next two weeks.
If the situation is susceptible to that long a wait, then Congress certainly has a proper role to play in deciding whether we go to war with anyone. Please invoke the War Powers Act on this Bozo before he gets us into some volatile situation that he cannot possibly understand.
We are accountable, all of us, for what we do (or don't do) right now.
(Remember how we slithered into Vietnam, before we crawled out?)
Addendum: PS: He went ahead and did it anyway. Maybe the War Powers Act is toothless. Maybe we learned nothing from the tragedy of Vietnam, even after 55,000 American lives were lost. Congress alone has the Constitutional power to declare war. Wars are easy to get into and difficult to get out of. Consensus is required. Our bases in Qatar were attacked …
