Good point. There is the argument that "War has come upon us, whether we would risk it or not", but I don't think war is quite upon us. A small surgical strike to abduct Sadam and force him to work as a frycook at a McDonald's should be enough, then you don't even have to declare war :D.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
