I was listening to a debate on Iraq between Wayne Allard and some Democrat the other night on Greta’s show. While the Dem was against going to war, he made the point that if were are going to, we should formally declare it. Allard disagreed, with the excuse that it would have implications for insurance companies. He didn’t elaborate on the explanation.

Greta asked him if the very notion of formal declarations of war had become obsolete, which I thought was a good question. He essentially said, yes, or at least maybe.

Does this bother anyone else? Will we never again actually declare war on anyone, under any circumstances, even as we wage it? If so, why not?
