Still in a busy work cycle, so not much time for blogging. I know it’s a bit late for this, but since Eric Cantor is my representative, I should probably make a comment about his antics on Hardball last week. My comment is: Don’t blame me — I voted for the other guy.

But seriously, while I agree that Iran is undoubtedly funding and helping insurgents in Iraq (as the U.S. is funding and helping insurgents in Iran), and that Iran is one of the principle antagonists against the U.S. right now, the idea that we’re “at war” with Iran is a bit of an exaggeration. I don’t know enough about the War Powers Act to comment on presidential vs. congressional authority, but I would hope that the decision to attack another nation rests on the shoulders of more than one person in the government.
