As far as dictionary.com is concerned;
War:
1. A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties.
2. The period of such conflict.
3. The techniques and procedures of war; military science.
4. A condition of active antagonism or contention: a war of words; a price war.
5. A concerted effort or campaign to combat or put an end to something considered injurious: the war against acid rain.
Bearing in mind that the first is the most appropriate in this sense, I think rephrasing is as "invasion" would be a more grammatically and contextually correct alternative.
Everyone will no doubt disagree, but can someone please tell me exactly what it was that Saddam did to warrant invasion?
