WE've been here before. you have your own definition of what constitutes war which doesn't agree with Webster. You also broad brush the combatants here and tend to view all participants as morally equivalent. Most of us are not working off the same basic definitions as you are.

I think it is possible to come up with 'good' guys and 'bad' guys, without requiring the 'good' guys to be 'perfect' guys. I don't know anyone but some of the terrorist sympathizers who think their side is perfect.

What you consistently fail to come up with when you apply your broad brush is what a country enduring constant terror attacks can do other than what Israel is doing.
