I guess it's OK since Bush did it too though. More wars more money for the military industrial complex. This is sickening.
Who's the dictator again?

I think you should make a new thread about this, and the claim that Dennis Kucinich thinks it is an impeachable offense...
I guess the bigger question is, would the congress play political games to deny military action to win political points? Would the congress be able to act quick enough since they are in recess right now? What would the consequences of talking up military action leading up to the vote, only to get denied do to the credibility of the US?
But, I agree that there should be some congressional oversight... but I would hope that they would agree to the same conclusion the UN did this time.

I also think the big "elephant in the room"/"Ron Paul" type of question that needs to be asked is, "What country is next that we will have to provide air support to?" Iran? Yemen? Bahrain? North Korea? Pakistan (if the 'extremists' start protesting...)?
