Are we also at war in Iran? Has President Bush ever declared war there? How long have we've been there? Are any other countries helping us fight those terrorists?

Sorry! I meant to say Afghanistan, not Iran. That we have troops in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. Sorry for that mistake. I should have reread it better plus I have a nephew there. Wasn't thinking clearly. Sorry!

Where is your proof the we are in IRAN that would constitute an act of WAR in the minds ( such as they are ) of the Iranians and they would start all out war on our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We've had soldiers in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban.
Even Iran denounces the Taliban as fanatical.
There is no declaration of war. We're not at war in Iraq, by any legal sense of the word.
There have been two recent Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). One authorized troops to Afghanistan. One authorized troops to Iraq.
No troops have been authorized into Iran.

yes of course.since 2001 if i'm not mistaken in november 2001.during the afghanistan war he also said that iraq's time will come and then in 2003 it became true.in afghanistan because the taliban's resistance is lighter than the iraqis lots of other NATO countries joined with germany has quite a large number of troops.
