The non-Zionist Israeli Population Could Save the Day

Paul Craig Roberts

Trump’s blustering April Fool’s day speech would easily have served as a hilarious April Fool’s day joke.  But it was just bluster to take the place of the discarded 10-day ultimatum that replaced the discarded 5-day ultimatum with a 3 or 4 week ultimatum.  As I asked, if Iran is as totally destroyed as Trump asserts, what is the purpose of Trump’s ultimatum?

Time is running out for Trump, not for Iran.  The last time an American president took America to war Constitutionally was 1941 when Congress gave the executive branch permission to enter the war with the Constitutionally required Congressional Declaration of War. As time went by Congress finally responded to presidential decisions to go to war without a Congressional declaration of war not by impeaching the President, which should have been done in order to protect the Constitutional political order and separation of powers, but by requiring the president who initiates military action without Congressional approval to come to Congress with a deadline of 60 days after initiating military action for congressional approval to continue the military action. 

In other words, Congress failed to defend the Constitution’s Separation of Powers by allowing the executive branch to exercise a power it does not have to go to war and, afterward, to come to Congress for approval. In the past Congress has rubber-stamped the President’s decision.

But this time it is different. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans do not share Trump’s concern  about the Iranian threat to America.  They do not support Netanyahu’s war.  Even many American Jews do not support the war...........more.........
