An invasion and subsequent occupation of an oil-rich nation by a superpower based on selectively researched and faulty intelligence. A contraction of "Bush's War," a reference to the current Iraq occupation.
Tell President Obama that we don't want a Bush War in Venezuela!
The last thing America needs is another Bush War in Iran.

When the poor and underprivileged fight back against the relentless war that the rich and powerful have been waging on them since the invention of the feudal system
'Criticism of our strategy has been political in nature and has drifted to 1970s class warfare lines, claiming the budget is 'unfair' or that the 'rich don't contribute enough' - Conservative Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey

A fight that happens between your morals and pocket books.
Joe: Hey Steve, I don't know if I should do the moral thing or the thing that will get me the most money.
Steve: Well man I guess it will have to come down to a stick war.

Why Did the USA invade Vietnam?
After the second world war, The USA and The USSR emerged as the world's two great superpowers. However, the two nation's political systems conflicted and a war of words and threat broke out. This was known as the cold war. America became increasingly fearful of the Soviet Union's communist system spreading across the world, one country at a time. This theory was known as the 'domino theory'. When China went communist in 1949, America felt that the threat of communism was very real. As a result, they entered Korea and were partially successful; The ROK (South Korea) remains a capitalist state today. They then turned their attentions too Vietnam, where a communist group known as the Viet Minh had emerged, founded by Ho Chi Minh. France were already present in Vietnam as it had been a colony of their's prior to WW2. However, even after a vast amount of support given by the USA, the French were eventually driven out by the Viet Minh. America's response to this was to help Ngo Dinh Diem to power in south Vietnam. Diem was a ruthless dictator who was cruel to the peasant population of Vietnam, but he was anti-communist, and so the USA helped him. Before long, a new communist militia group was set up called the Viet Cong, again founded by Ho Chi Minh. America began to send military 'advisers' to combat the Viet Cong. This continued for a few year until eventually, in 1965, The USA was fully at war with communist forces in Vietnam.
The Vietnam War was a 'product' of the cold war.

Although different in concept to other MMORPGs, Guild Wars has proved to be a creditable and righteous game for people familiar with the genre. Even newbies will find this game all sorts of fun, as it is not hard to learn the basics of the game.
The main jobs available thus far are:
Warrior
Necromancer
Elementalist
Ranger
Monk
Mesmer
You can combine to have any one as a primary/secondary job and get attributes from both (but only the special attribute of your primary job).
Quests are a lot of fun and the graphics are a delight.
I've been malspending my money playing FFXI, a game in which you payed a monthly fee and you had so much of a hard time getting Gil (FFXI currency) that 90% of the people actually buy it online... This sort of nonsense is not seen in Guild Wars. Get this game if you're a fan of the likes of World of Warcraft.
I've been playing Guild Wars for a month now, it's great!

A turn-based military strategy game for the Gameboy Advance. The game has a tile-and grid system, where each tile contains a type of terrain, such as plains, woods, or rivers. Each tile has special properties. Units and building facilities are placed on the map, where armies battle it out. The objective is to either destroy all enemy units or capture the enemy headquarters. The story, or "campaign" mode, pits the 4 countries of Wars World (Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet, and Green Earth) to defeat the invading alien Black hole army led by Sturm. One thing that makes this game a lot more fun is a map designer. Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising was later released on the Gameboy Advance in 2003 and included a new unit: the Neotank, an extremely powerful tank. Both games are decsendants of the Japan-only Famicom Wars, Gameboy Wars, and Super Famicom Wars series.
The map designer is the number one reason why Advance Wars 2 is one of my favorite video games of all time.
