Do you think much will come out of the recent Atta story?

The fighting in Iraq is a war.

Who is on the "other side", and how many fighters do they have?

How many Iraqis are on "our" side of this war?

If the "other side" wins this war, who loses? The US and coalition can just go home and gets on with its business - is it a "war" with no losing side?

Has Northern Ireland been at "war" for its ENTIRE existence?

To call the Iraqi situation a "war" (as in WW1, WW2, Korean war, Vietnam war, Iraq-Iran war, England-Falklands war, etc. etc.) is just poor use of English.

If Iraq has ~22 million people, which side of the "war" are most of them supporting?

tigerpaw,

re:The fighting in Iraq is a war.

No it's not - it's an insurgency, we will train the Iraqi's to fight it themselves and leave in due time.

re:a war anymore because it is about to be lost

Who will we lose to Saddam?

We won the war in record time with the fewest casualties imaginable. The peace is proving hard to maintian in four areas.
