#1 Faced down the whole world?
My recollection was everybody but Iraq sitting over in the shade, pointing and giggling.

#2 As Kissinger said, "It's a shame one of them has to win."

#3 Do they show the boys wrapped in blankets? IIRC, they used to use kids to "clear" minefields - the kids were forced to walk ahead of the troops, and set off any mines. After a while the soldier got disturbed seeing all the body parts. So they had the kids wrap themselves in blankets, so when they set off a mine, they wouldn't be spread all over the battlefield.

#5 I thought the African "Civil War" in the Congo was the longest major war with millions dead?

Longest war might well be the one between the Polisario Front and Morocco over the old Spanish Sahara.
The Columbia Civil War is in the running as longest too.

#6 The Cold War was pretty damn long too. It cost way more in $ and lives then Tehran's little war. Kind of self centered thinking going on in Tehran.

Schizophrenics talking to themselves.

#8 Schizophrenics answer their own questions don't they? Yea, that's it.

#9 WWII was probably the last big declared "war". Everything thing else was a "police action" or "regional festivities". I read it on Rantburg
