lol..I can't believe you used Pearl Harbor of all things to relate to that...

Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack that carried little risk to the Japanese pilots who carried it out. It's not a perfect analogy but close enough. The difference is that we had the ability to respond in a way that did put the Japanese military at risk, where the Libyans did not. My point is that from the receiving end, the bombings constituted war, regardless of whether the target's ability to counter attack was present or not. The argument that bombing Libya did not constitute war because our military personnel faced little risk just does not hold water. When Highlands pummels an opponent 68-0, 77-0, and 79-0 on successive weekends, nobody claims that they did not play football on those nights. :biggrin:
