  Historically the codified office of the Ombudsman came to Sweden after the Swedish King had to search refuge in Turkey and observed a similar position there.<p>I love that story, shows you that the world always was quite small and that what we perceive as progressive and backward countries is just a matter of time.

  This is deeply disturbing. The terrible, incoherent messaging and strategy around the Iran war (unapproved by Congress) is connected. This is an administration that is seeking less freedom, not more. What entity would sue on behalf of the ombudsman?

    It cannot be &quot;unapproved by Congress&quot;.<p>A US president does not have authority to start a war, Congress has, according to Constitution. The president only serves as a Commander in Chief.<p>So at any point Congress can stop any military action issuing an immediate ruling preventing the president doing anything. If our congressmen don&#x27;t do that it means they approve it.<p>It&#x27;s our, USA, war, not Trump&#x27;s war. Because we elected the congressmen.

      &gt; If our congressmen don&#x27;t do that it means they approve it.<p>These needs to be repeated everywhere until people understand it. Same situation with tariffs.
