It's not the causes that worry me (as you might surmise from my posts here I supported this war... and this was the most controversial of them all), it's the marginalization of the historical process for launching military action. There was a day when the involvement of congress was a critical step required before any sort of military action could take place. Now there have been a number of bills that have given the executive branch more and more control, and that worries me more than a little.
If we did not have a Republican congress, and they had opposed the war... do you think it'd have slowed the President down by much? I don't think so.
