So what are your thoughts on "realists"? Should a president be able to get us involved with "conflicts" at his own whim and discretion (assuming a president happens to have any discretion)? Or should Congress, which a bit more directly represents the will of the American people, make those decisions?

Are you a "realist" or were you simply quoting what "realists" believe when you said that "realists" draw a distinction between war and "conflict"?
