There’s been a lot of chatter about war with Iran and the unlikely alliance between George Soros and the Koch brothers forming a new foreign policy think tank aimed at ending “forever war” policy.

Ending war, however, is harder to do when it never “officially” starts. Congress has officially declared war 11 times in the nation’s history. The last time was June 4, 1942, when Congress passed three different joint resolutions against Romania and Hungary. Before that, of course, were the declarations of war against Germany and Japan in 1941.
