Use of the term war for colonization
How many years should Iraqis be enslaved and their resources including lands be controlled by foreign forces with heavy weaponry before Iraq is called a colony? Is it still a war if a large army of foreign forces invade a country, squat on it and try to legalize their seizure of every resource of that country? By the same token, are we still engaged in the Indian wars in the United States? Or is the former Indian land officially now a colony of western settlers who divorced their native country just like Ian Smith did in the case of then Rhodesia?
