Not a War

Samir Hussain makes the case that this is not a war:
"We must create our own vernacular which accurately depicts the reality of what is happening so that it may be appropriately recorded for posterity's sake. Indeed, there are innumerable terms and expressions which aptly describe what is happening in Iraq, but "war" is not one of them. What we are witnessing is a US-Led Aggression against Iraq to advance an imperialist agenda. It is an Act of State Terrorism in defiance of international law and public opinion. It is an Unjustified Bombardment. It is an Invasion that will end in Occupation. It will be a Massacre." Pshaw! It already IS a massacre.
How can we sit back and let this happen?

Fresh air raids shook Baghdad on Sunday as a U.S. armored column pushed more than half-way to the Iraqi capital, part of a ferocious onslaught aimed at ousting President Saddam Hussein.
