So when did Al Queda seek permission to attack the USA. I don't remember the
Sudan, Libya, Iran, and the other great countries in the UN giving them
permission.

I also don't recall any mention of the UN or international law in the U.S.
Consititution.

Seems odd, but I beat you would not have wanted the USA to fight against
Germany in WWII because they didn't attack us, only Japan did. Oh ya, and
we didn't have anyones permission. Maybe we shouldn't have fought against
Japan either.

Hey, Germany formally declared war on us! By the standards of the
time in international law, that's entirely adequate grounds.

And Japan committed a hostile act, to which we responded to with a
formal declaration of war, all right and proper, and fully within the
international law of the time on the topic.

Neither of which are in any way similar to what we're now doing (to
our shame) to Iraq.
