A unilateral attack is one that is taken by one side. If a gang attacks you on the street as you are walking along, it is a unilateral attack. It does not matter how many people are in the gang. Then Desert Storm was a unilateral attack under your inane definition. Iraq didn't attack any of the countries in the Coalition that ousted Saddam's forces from Kuwait.

And all Bush did was to provide finality to the aftermath of Desert Storm, in which the cease-fire from that war was violated over and over again by Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom was not a "new" war. It was merely the final chapter of Desert Storm, 12 years delayed because Saddam did not want to keep his end of the bargain that permitted him to stay in power in 1991. Hawk
