If there is an overwhelming reaction to wage war from all around the world, then I think (if Congress so says) the United States should participate. Otherwise, I hope "we" stay out of it. To me support, training, long range weapons etc. are as much an act of war as boots on the ground. Nothing should be done without the approval of Congress. I agree with Charlie Rangel (a staunch Democrat) and I am a Raving Right Wing Conservative, that before any action should be taken that the draft should be reinstated (both men and women). That way everyone would have a "dog in the fight" and the lower middle class wouldn't bear the brunt of the burden of a war.
