 | | Pursuant to House Resolution 574, the amendment to the preamble and the amendment to the text printed in the joint resolution are adopted. | | | House Joint Resolution 114 is not a declaration of war, but it is a blank check to use force without moral or political authority of the declaration of war that, for example, Franklin Delano Roosevelt did on December 8 to begin World War II. | | | The President's resolution authorizes all of these outcomes by authorizing and codifying the doctrine of preemption. |

| | Sample Chapter for Feaver, P.D. and Gelpi, C.: Choosing Your Battles: American Civil-Military Relations and the Use of Force. |
| | Military officer respondents report what may be called a "realpolitik" approach to the issue, one that reserves the use of force for interstate issues that represent a substantial threat to national security such as control of territory, the maintenance of geostrategic access and position, and the defense of allies. | | | Civil-military considerations are only one set of issues related to the use of force and may not even be the primary ones. | | | Specifically, we identify whether the United States initiated the use of force, called a militarized interstate dispute (MID), against each possible target country for every year, called a dyad-year. |

| | BELLACIAO - The Vote for Gulf War II - Gordon Prather - Collective Bellaciao |
| | Possibly because UN Security Council Resolution 678 - which authorized the use of "all necessary means" to force Saddam to withdraw from Kuwait - had not been adopted until a few weeks before. | | | "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq." | | | Hence, it was something of a surprise to us - and should have been absolutely stupefying to congresspersons - when Dubya "determined" on March 19 that no "further diplomatic or other peaceful means will adequately protect the national security of the United States from the continuing threat posed by Iraq." |

| | Alternative Dispute Resolution By Apology: Settlement By Saying I'm Sorry |
| | Apologies can be in the form of a letter from one party to another or in the form of a joint press release which includes quotations from one or both parties expressing regrets or making positive statements about each other. | | | Expressions of public apology have helped resolve a myriad of disputes, including a charge of contempt against a TV network for failing to abide by a judicial order, a lawsuit based on defamatory broadcast implying parents were partially responsible for their daughter's suicide, and a dispute involving the damaging "leak" of confidential government data. | | | Therefore, the timing of an apology, whether raised by the party offering it or seeking it, is a delicate matter that depends on the temperament of the parties and the tenor of the dispute. |
