You didn't say allies you said "us". But yes, Kuwait is an ally.

I see ol' Spender is in disingenuous mode today.
Wrong Iraq war, dude. As if you didn't know.

There was only one, Rich. Cease-fire, not surrender, remember?

So now your claim is that every war that did not end via official
"surrender" is still ongoing?

Why is that a bad claim? Examples support that idea....

Sufficient examples oppose it to negate its utility as a general
principle. Vietnam?

Yeah, well, generalizing is very difficult. Vietnam was
pretty different. It was, IMO, less justifiable than
the Second Gulf war - we were still materially involved
with Iraq after Gulf War I and we have lots of detail
like Macnamara's mea culpa on "Fog of War".
