Quote: It's my understanding that de jure, "enemy" is defined as a nation upon which we have formally declared war
Thump,
How many people are rotting in Guantanamo as "enemy combatants" who hail from countries that we have not formally declared war upon. Besides, if we formally declare war then those people become prisoners of war and are covered by the Geneva convention.... something that republicunts would rather cut off their own balls with a rusty saw than allow.
