Since we had already covered the steps I skipped in this thread,

I know that gap exists. I'm working on trying to learn their
mindset. I have discovered that the reason people who think
European-style, w.r.t. culture, cannot comprehend how our
Constitution works, is because they have been immersed in
royalty-flavored thinking. It was always the case that the
roylaty were the ones who had the responsibility of dealing
with these kinds of problems (threats to their subjects).
They equate our President with their king or queen.

I don't think that's the cause. The cause is who inherantly
shoulders the responsibility of security, fincance, and statesmanship
decisions. We hire ours and replace them every few years. Theirs
is based on promengeniture, slightly modified.

This (differences) is one of the things I'm studying. Since
SOP of European thought is what happened in the 1930s, my
style is to study it and then try to figure out a way to do
mess prevention. Appeasement is a fact of life in European
politics and foreign policies. So that has to be taken as
a fact when thinking about dealing with this global danger.

I do not falsely believe that my posts to newsgroups can
be considered private. Do you believe that newsgroups is
a private communication? Do you believe that email is
a private communication? When you use your wireless telephone,
do you believe that conversation is a private communication?

We're not at war. Congress has not declared war.

The constitution allows the suspension of habeas corpus only in 2 instances:
invasion and rebellion. Neither applies now.
