A "true" conservative like you are claiming to be, respects constitutional doctrines, and would only advocate going to war on a declaration by Congress, the representatives closest to the people, and most apt to know what they want or what is in their best interests. In this case, you seem to suggest that the UN knew what was best for us, or that one person(POTUS) knew what was best for us, and was allowed to make that decision. In either case I dont see how EITHER justification adheres to conservative ideology.
