Unless I am mistaken, US troops are currently occupying the country, Saddam has not signed a surrender document and there is no alternative democratically appointed government to sign such a document. Furthermore, the US military is suffering between 13-20 attacks a day against its forces - doesn't sound like the war is over to anyone - except Bush.

So the Second World War wasn't a war but just a 'combat zone'? Invading a country is generally considering a defacto declaration of War. Hitler never 'declared war' formally on Russia when he invaded - the Russians even mistook the invasion as an 'error' on the part of a German Commander...
To deny that the US was/is at war with Iraq is to deny that the Russians and Germans were at war in WWII.
[/QUOTE]Your singing to the choir here, I was actually trying to be sarcastic but it appears some of my smileys got lost in my zest to post. Of course it is a war and of course it is not over. Sorry for the miscue.
