To the editor:
Obliterated: the right of the people through their elected representatives to decide if their country should go to war.
Obliterated: the independence of Congress as a separate branch of government which has the sole right to declare war. The servile minions who took an oath to defend the Constitution failed to do so, preferring to kowtow to a vengeful megalomaniac to avoid being primaried.
Obliterated: Trump’s campaign promises not to embroil America in foreign wars.
Obliterated: the truth, eviscerated by hyperbole and devious language. To describe an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, which is illegal under international law, as a “one off,” or a preemptive strike to force peace, also illegal in this situation, is 1984 totalitarian double speak at its worst.
