Afghan

A quick note that I have reverted this; unfortunately as an encyclopaedia we have to assume we will be around for many years and not all our readers are American. For example, since I was born "the Afghan war" has always meant the

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (which has also had renaming issues in the past though). You could use "2001" instead of "American", but that would look a little silly if we referred to the "1867 invasion of Afghanistan" and the "1979 invasion of Afghanistan" articles as well. I'm of the opinion we're best to reference it based on the two armies involved; in this case, the United States and Afghanistan. Sherurcij (speaker for the dead) 17:41, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply
