So it's ok to declare war on Hezbollah but not on ISIS? If I decide to build my own WMD I'm a criminal but if Pakistan fails to prosecute the guy who helps me then I'm an enemy combatant?

Seems to me the criterion should be the level of the threat, not fine distinctions on who's making it.

Show me any written declaration of war made since WWII. Problem is you've made everything so gray since then that not even you yourself can see straight anymore. That's a real problem. We already know that has created constant global guerrilla grinding of waste, destruction and death. It would be interesting if it spawns an actual war or WWIII... even if only to restore clear vision. WMD? Chem is as irrelavent as a cloudy day. Nuke policing is tricky yet seems to be working and still under state control. But it's the bio's / DNA and knowledge coming out of govt/corp/edu labs that pose the biggest risk to mass humanity. And nobody seems to have any idea how to grasp or manage that.
