of Congress while searhing<BR>> for House Joint Resolution 114 of 2002, which
is NOT a declaration of war.<BR>> <BR>> HJR 114 is an authorization for
the use of military force against Iraq,<BR>> introduced and sponsored by Rep.
Hastert (R-IL), then interim Speaker of<BR>> the House, and Rep. Gephart
(D-MO), then House Minority Leader.<BR>> <BR>> It was NOT a declaration of
war. To put it bluntly, it was the product of<BR>> patriotic fervor, of
whose flames were fanned by George Bush. Or don't<BR>> you remember
King George standing in the midst of first responders at<BR>> "Ground Zero"
so proudly exclaiming (after one of the fire fighters stated<BR>> that he
couldn't hear Bush), "I Hear you and soon they will hear you!" (as<BR>> he
