Repeat after me "We are not at war"

Too often stated by Democrats as well as Republicans.

1. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say we are not at war

or am I misunderstanding the context of your post?

[pinkpops]

2. You and I seem to have posted at nearly the same time -

I'll join your thread.

3. I agree.

4. you are so right. we are not at war. war is the name through which bush

manipulates his INVASION AND OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. We are in the midst of an OCCUPATION AND OCCUPATION OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY WHICH DID NOTHING TO US BUT WHICH IS RICH IN OIL.

5. Sure we are at war

As long as you do not subscribe to the antiquated notions of having to formally declare war on another soverign nation.

First off even with nations we have not declared war on anybody since 1941 and we have been at war many times since

Next off in this age its no longer just nations that can wage war. Worldwide movements, or organizations can also wage war across many countries.

So if you are being techincal in the geneva convention sense, no we are not at war. But who follows those precepts from another era in this day and age?
