Well if the current campaign against Islamic terrorism is best described as a "war", would you support invasions of and regime change in Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico, and Peru as part of the "War on Drugs"? There are similarities. But radical differences. I don't think you classify them the same way. Regime change in foreign countries requires war. Building a pro-Western democracy requires diplomacy. The two are totally different, and require different skill sets. It is naive to believe that one picks up where the other leaves off. In this instance, the war has, by necessity, continued since the end of "major combat operations" until now.
