It is not a war. Not even close. We are not one nation state battling another. We are not fighting anyone in uniform. If all it takes is an American dying to call it a war then boy howdy do we have a war with tobacco. More Americans die every four days from tobacco related causes than have died the whole four years of Iraq. This is an occupation ( an illegal one IMO) with a lot of criminal activity and no real police force to deal with it. It is not a "war"
