(8,303 posts)As an aside, I'll note that the logical implication of what you wrote is that the US Constitution was deeply flawed in requiring Congress to declare war, because all those people aren't experts. Instead they just represent their constituencies. There's one thing those ignorant nasty voters do know, and that is that if there is a war, they will have to fight it and they will have to fund it. Some might claim that this gives them a right to say what they think and be represented by their Congressional representatives, who are entitled to get all the reports from all of those highly knowledgeable State Department types.
But even if one were to accept your theory, are you really claiming that those in the US State department have knowledge that trumps all other western countries?
War and military attacks on foreign agencies are very serious matters. I think such steps should be seriously and widely considered.
