New Rules for Going to War
If we take the anti-war crowd at their word, here are the new rules we'd have to adopt before committing American forces in the future:
• The UN Security Council must approve all US action before it is taken
• A majority of nations in Europe must approve of and participate in military operations
• France in particular must approve, though they need not actually participate
• Before any ground, sea, or air forces are committed, a limit is set on US casualties, and we withdraw all forces the moment that limit is reached
• Before ground, sea, or air forces are committed, a timeline for disengagement is established before we go in. We must withdraw forces according to the established timeframe regardless of whether the mission has been achieved
• Members of Congress have the right to change their mind at any time for any reason and demand an immediate withdrawal
• It at any time a poll of the American people show that their support for military operations goes below 50% the troops are to be immediately withdrawn
• It at any time a poll of active-duty military personnel show that their support for military operations goes below 50% the troops are to be immediately withdrawn
• It at any time a poll of active-duty military personnel show that they do not support current tactics and strategy, those tactics and strategy will be immediately changed.
• No one who has not served in the military may speak in favor of military operations
• No one who does not have at least one son or daughter of military age may express concern for the troops because obviously they do not understand what they're going through

Great post Tom. And before we ever think about this again, we should all pull the covers over our heads and chant, "it's all our fault they hate us...it's all our fault..." lol
