Secretary of Homeland Security and former Department of Defense (“DoD”) General Counsel Jeh Johnson said in a speech in late 2012, war should “be regarded as a finite, extraordinary and unnatural state of affairs” that “violates the natural order of things.”13 In Johnson’s words: “Peace must be regarded as the norm toward which the human race continually strives."
We should make that as an amendment to the USA Constitution. Unless the AUMF is repealed this country is never going to stop engaging in war.
The administration of George W. Bush destroyed this country, not 9/11. One attack on the USA would never do what "W" has done to us.
Now, we know why the US Senate didn't care about the nomination of Secretary Johnson, he speaks and spells the word Peace. That is just no in the Senate's purview these days, except for Senator Sanders.
