3. So the Korean war is still going? WW2 never ended?
Why can't people wait and see what happens, how many hostile incidents occur involving US troops, and whether they were offensive or defensive (US military personnel have killed and been killed in Korea long after 1953), rather than making blanket assumptions that a war only ends when there are no US soldiers at all in a country?

Bookmark this for a six month review folks. If US military deaths are not down 75% or more from the last six months in Iraq g then I will agree they are still in a war. Wioll you agree they are not if deaths do dramatically decline?
