I hate to point this out, but this particular development occurred two
millennia ago.  Not since ancient Greece have the people voting for a
war actually been the same ones who then had to fight it.  Surely you
don't think the people who actually pull the triggers have much of a
say in whether war is declared?

Not that it wouldn't be a good idea, mind you...
