right... clinton never preached nationalism.... sure. are you saying he never said that this was a great nation?
also, i DID check my definition of declaring war, and I am quite correct, even if it is the "technical" meaning. and like you said, we didn't declare war on afghanistan. we had troops there but it wasn't in order to attack the nation, it was in pursuit of terrorists. big difference.
people still wouldn't have waved the flags and acted patriotically if they truly didn't care, btw. but there are millions of people here who DO care, so they did.
also, as a rule of thumb, avoid making generalizations like "no one wanted to go into vietnam" because that's cutting out a lot of people who felt perhaps we should.
also, don't put words into my mouth. i never said one person couldn't get us into a war, because sure, that might be possible. i said one person can't destroy this country, and there's no way in hell you can prove me wrong there so stop twisting my words to make it so you can.
