So what you're saying is that it's legal for an American to nuke a country as long as the US is already at war with that country.

Ha! No, 42 U.S.C. 2122.
Am I reading this wrong or are foreign heads of state that produce nuclear weapons technically committing a crime which the US considers itself to have jurisdiction over? If so why aren't they arrested when they travel to the US?
Nanny state.
Thanks for ruining my weekend plans!
