A federal court judge dismissed a suit brought by a group of soldiers (what were they thinking?), their parents and six congressmen saying that the court had no business interfering in international political decisions.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro ruled that a federal court can judge the war policies of political branches of government only when actions taken by Congress and the president are in conflict -- a situation that does not exist today

The desire to reach an outcome other than the invasion of Iraq using the US Military as our sole instrument of foreign policy is certainly a noble thing, but trying to use the courts is, I believe, pointless. The six members of congress should have been working harder to prevent language in the House and Senate that emboldened the 1600 Crew policies and rolled over at their every command like trained puppies, not bitching about these policies now in court. Changes of that magnitude will only take place when Congress begins to find it's voice in this and every other disagreement with the President McOil Slick, stops rolling over and starts acting like responsible, adult Representatives .
