Nope.
They fricking crashed planes into our buildings and attacked the Pentagon and we did not go to war. WE called it war, but it was a half assed attempt. If it was a war we wound have carpet bombed every fricking city known to have talaban, and Pakastan right now would be shaking in their boots that we would come in and clean their house for them.
After 9/11 we could have NUKED something and the world would have not bat an eye, instead of acting like the lion, we acted like a scared bird.

Why don't you go up to some of my friends who came back from Iraq or Afghanistan missing pieces of themselves and tell them they weren't in a war. I dare you.

So how, exactly, do you think Iraq and Afghanistan don't fit into this? The entire period of our involvement in those two countries has certainly involved "open, armed and prolonged conflict," and note the word "parties" at the end of that definition--it doesn't have to be nation-states. Any time you have two or more large bodies of armed people trying to kill each other, you have a war. You can call it "peacekeeping" or anything else you like, but that doesn't change what it is.
