"War"

Along with the power to wage “War”, WE THE PEOPLE require a formal declaration of “War” as a “check and balance” against Congress itself. Today, “the war on terrorism” is the primary semantic dodge which serves this devious purpose. At some point in the future, though, the authors of “the war on terrorism” may realize that they can exponentially expand the ambit of their deceit by linking that “war” with “the war on drugs” in particular and even “the war on crime” in general.
