first time you stated your incorrect opinion.

You are really making a circular argument. You are incorrectly assuming that wars can only be declared by states. You are using that assumption to declare any war declared by a non-state actor to be "metaphorical." Finally, you are using the "metaphorical" nature of the war to prove that real wars can only be declared by states. Completely circular.

In reality, once you correct for the bogus initial assumption that wars can only be declared by states, the rest of your argument falls apart. People should stop pretending the law is what they would like it to be, and instead accurately discuss the law as it exists in reality.
