Well you are right we aren't at war with any country. I think it is called at war with terrorism. And here is what Princeton defines war as:
*the waging of armed conflict against an enemy; "thousands of people were killed in the war"
*a legal state created by a declaration of war and ended by official declaration during which the international rules of war *apply; "war was declared in November but actual fighting did not begin until the following spring"
*an active struggle between competing entities; "a price war"; "a war of wits"; "diplomatic warfare"
*a concerted campaign to end something that is injurious; "the war on poverty"; "the war against crime"
make or wage war
I am not by far a college scholar like the people that came up with these deffanitions, but I do believe what we are doing falls under atleast 2 of those. It may just be me. I know we lose more people in the states over stupid shit like, hand guns, and other dumb shit. But no matter how many people don't want to say or think we aren't at war, we are. Correct me if I am wrong, but when they talk about Iraq what do they call it in the press, Congress, Senate, and the White House? Do they not call it the War in Iraq or the War in Afghanistan?
Just like the korean police action was a war? You can argue that the war of terror is bad, but look at a few pluses.
Saddam was a modern day hitler, he killed 1/6 as many civilians as hitler, he killed his own troops, he had to be stopped. Sure america has tested weapons on their on troops, which was bad to begin with, but it had to be done at some point to see the long term effects of radiation from the warheads.
If we hadn't invaded after 9-11, who knows it could have happened again? No one will ever know, but it could be worse just think that.
The drugs that were being exported from the middle east have been decreased by over 71%
The only way obama will win the presidentency is if his running mate is hilary clinton. Not because he is black, but because no person in their right mind will vote for someone that hates on reagan, or has a wife who thinks that country was bad, up until her husband ran for president, You can tell his wife shares the views of that racist pastor of theirs, so you know he is a racist prick too.
