Deb, "WAR" sounds horrible, I agree; but it has to be something a little bit more than THAT to be called a "WAR"; I think it's (all) gonna end pretty soon...

It doesn't matter what word you want to call it. It means bombing and killing people. Words like "air strike" or "surgical" "intervention" only sterilize and shift the meaning. I'd just as soon call a spade a spade. Air strike = bombing and killing people.
