The second problem is that a formal declaration of war, under law,
amounts
to a war against all of the people of that political entity. In Iraq, it
would mean we were at war with the Iraqi people. We didn't want to do
that.

The problem is that we are killing Iraqi civilians wholesale. There is
insufficient differentiation between Saddam Hussein's troops and
civilians. For every innocent civilian we kill, we make 2 enemies -
just like Vietnam.

Yup, war is hell.
