The 'War on terror' looks a lot like the 'War on drugs' to me. It is 'War' that cannot be won because it is ill defined and makes the object of the 'War' profitable for those opposed.

The differences between the 'war on drugs' and the 'war on terror' is money opposed to fame. Drugs being illegal makes them profitable. Terror being brought to the forefront guarantees fame. The worse the act, the greater the fame. To a lot of people, fame is worth more than money. You can bet OBL will go down in history, there are a lot of people who are very wealthy whom no one has every heard and never will.

As far as presidential power to declare War, we all know the law. It must be approved by congress. Any War declared on an unspecified country is just rhetoric. I don't see how it can be stopped. Since Mr. Bush has declared War on terror, the whole world is involved: including us.

I am just biding my time waiting to interned in a 'Freedom Camp'
