But you're right. Only the Congress has the power to declare war.

If you think that's bad, the 3rd Punic War lasted more than 2000 years. At the end of the war Carthage had been so utterly destroyed that either there was no one left to agree to a peace, or the Romans, having annexed the territory, felt no need to arrange a peace with a part of the world that was now subject to the Pax Romana. So the war wasn't formally ended until 1985 when Italy and Tunisia signed a treaty.

Yeah, but were the Carthaginians still taxed by their own gov't. to pay for that war?
Keep in mind that the Soviets never signed a peace treaty w/the remnants of Das Dritte Reich.
