Inarguably a portion of the executive branch.<BR/><BR/>I have always believed that if you are going to war you are going to conquer people, cultures and civilizations and only a fool would not use every weapon in it's arsenal to ensure complete domination of the enemy of the military ie; executive branch.<BR/><BR/>Time to bring out battlefield low yield nuclear weapons and maybe a 200 kiloton hydrogen bomb for Iran.<BR/><BR/>Like the confederate general said when he saw the raping, looting and pillaging of the army of the north left behind in Vicksburgh when asked what to do now.
