I would call this a battle not the war. The War began 9-11 2001 for sure. This is just another battle in that war.

That is why all this UN stuff was silly. The US did not ask permission to invade the Solomon Islands in WWII although the Island did not bomb Pearl nor declare war on the US. We invaded them like Iraqi because the enemy was there.

Right on.

I agree this is only a battle in our larger war.

I've been calling this the "War Against Saadumb Huddein", countering the peaceniks "No War On Iraq". Perhaps you're right, though, I ought to call it the "Battle Against Saadumb Hussein"...

BASH is actually more approprate than WASH... Perhaps we can get this to catch on.
