But if the president decides to go to war, against a hostile worldwide public opinion, should he not be accountable for: accidents, friendly fires, deaths of its own soldiers, deaths of innocents (women and children), the finding or not of the reason why the war was initiated, etc....
This seems a lot more to be responsible for than not deciding to wage war at all.
