If they were, wed have been all down Clintons throat for his actions in 1993 against Iraq.

A few fighter sorties against North Vietnamese torpedo boat bases are not equal to a war.

A few Austro/Hungarian reprisals against Serbia are not equal to a war.

A few shots fired at Fort Sumter are not equal to a war.

No, a few cruise missiles are not equal to a war, but a few cruise missiles can easily cause a war. Don't ever doubt it.
