Newsflash: No, we aren't. This whole situation has been called "The War in Iraq" almost since it's inception, courtesy of our money and politically driven 24 hour cable news friends. Too bad we not once ever declared war on Iraq. We issued several air strikes and a ground invasion. Vietnam wasn't a war either, it was a "conflict". Exact same policy was used back in the day.

So what's the difference? As far as I can tell, nothing. Provided Congress continues to approve of whats happening and continues to give it's support, there is almost no difference in declaring war or not.
