Not sure how much the Iraq war ended, when last year they bombed it as much as they bombed Syria, and they were actually trying to wipe out ISIS in Syria (or was it Assad? I lost count on which side the U.S. was there) after the attacks in Paris and whatnot. So that tells you a lot about just how active the US military is in Iraq. You can't say you "ended" a war where you're still dropping 1,000 bombs a month in a country, or more than 30 every day. Imagine 30 bombs being dropped every day in the U.S. by another nation. Would you feel "not at war" with that country? And the U.S. is a huge place with the population spread around. The Middle Eastern countries are much smaller so the impact (both physical destruction-wise, but also psychological to the population) is greater. http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2017/01/05/bombs-dropped-in-2016/ http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2017/01/05/bombs-dropped-in-2016/
