      The term you're looking for is "police action," and not like it was   
   pathetically used with the Korean War.  I have a major problem giving   
   that scum the benefit of something as big as a war declared on them .   
   . .   
      
      Yeah, getting permission from other countries, co-operating,   
   gathering information, covert missions and surgical strikes, all   
   boring, but it actually gets the job done . . .

      Frankly kid, I'm amazed at how naive you are that you think you can   
   give your government that much benefit of doubt, and not expect it to   
   backfire on you.  Is the concept of abuse of power really that foreign   
   to you?!   Getting a tax audit because you pissed off someone in high   
   places is bad enough, now we have to deal with being declared "enemy   
   combatants" . . .

      Oooh, do give some specific examples!  Do be careful what you say   
   though, this is what my living's about . . .
