Just to speak about the 1000 death requirement for war, is it really that written in stone? For example, the trend in warfare - at least amongst the militarily advanced Western Nations - for war to be more robotic. Meaning smart weapons will be operated by operators at great distance away from the war zone. Smart missles are already in use. Much of the air warfare would become robotic, so there is no opportunity for death. Is this war? And as shown by Operation Allied force, war can be won by air power without the use of ground troops, so that possibility of casualties is cut off. Since there are smart weapons, civilian deaths would be minimized because of accurate and decisive targeting. If both side's militaries are organized in this matter, is the conflict between them classified as war?
