My interest is in the truth. It is true that we are not at war in any conventional sense with anybody in the world. It is also true that we have adopted policies of retribution towards terrorist organizations that have attacked the United States. It is also true that we have adopted policies criminalizing the provision of support to terrorists whether or not they have attacked us. By this logic we are not, for example, at war with HAMAS unless they attack us first, but it is illegal for Americans to provide support for HAMAS (Americans can only define law so far as it applies to Americans and activities in America). So, while it might be illegal to write a check to HAMAS, we are not currently "at war" with HAMAS.
