	Column: Is the "War on Terrorism" just another "Quasi War"?
		The Quasi War as well as the Alien and Sedition Acts ultimately cost Adams and the Federalists control of the White House and Congress as many Americans began to believe the Federalists were using the foreign policy situation for political gain and to quiet their opponents.
		This war in the late eighteenth century is referred to by historians as the "Quasi War" with France.
		The word "war" is thrown around so carelessly by politicians and the media today -- we have the war on drugs, the war on terror, the war on illiteracy, the war on halitosis, etc. The word itself no longer has any meaning.

		Later after defeating two British frigates in the war of 1812 they would complain that she was actually a ship of the Line with a single gun deck.

	Presidential War Powers by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
		Supporters of a broad executive war power have sometimes appealed to the Quasi War with France, in the closing years of the eighteenth century, as an example of unilateral warmaking on the part of the president.
		Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object.
		But what the framers meant by that clause was that once war has been declared, it was the President’s responsibility as commander-in-chief to direct the war.

	Quasi-War With France
		Talleyrand feared that limited hostilities with the United States might escalate into a fullscale war and let it be known that he would accept a new American diplomatic representative.
		Adams nominated a new representative to France despite public and Federalist disappointment that there would be no war, but conceded to Federalist demands and expanded the single nomination into a commission of three.
		President Adams wanted to avoid a major war, confident that had France wanted war it would have responded to American attacks on French ships.

	NWC Review, Summer 2000: Fehlings
		War as something to abolish, war as something to get over as quickly as possible, war as a means of punishing the enemy who dared to disturb the peace, war as a crusade—these conceptions are all compatible with the American outlook.
		War is a hostile contention carried on by armed forces between nations, states, or rulers, or between political entities holding territory in the same nation or state.
		In the war [of the American Revolution], which commenced between England and France, in 1778, the first public act on the part of the English government was the withdrawing of its Minister from France, and that single act was declared by France to be the first breach of the peace.

		Following the Revolutionary War and the formal re-establishment of the Marine Corps on July 11, 1798, Marines saw action in the quasi-war with France (1798-1800), landed in Santo Domingo (1800) and took part in many operations against the Barbary pirates along the "Shores of Tripoli" (1801-1815).
		Marines participated in numerous naval operations during the War of 1812, as well as participating in the defense of Washington at Bladensburg, Maryland (1814) and fought alongside Andrew Jackson in the defeat of the British at New Orleans (1815).
		After years of offensives, counteroffensives, seemingly endless trench warfare, and occupation duty, the last Marine ground troops were withdrawn in March 1955.

		That's similar to or less than the duration of lesser-known fights including the 1899 insurrection in the Philippines (which cost thousands more U.S. lives than the Iraq war), the late 1700s "quasi war" with France, the early 1800s Barbary wars, and even recent wars or interventions in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Haiti and Somalia.
		Whether the war's pendulum ultimately swings toward democracy or terror — or in a different direction entirely — may not be known for a decade or more.
		After arguing that the Iraq war would be remembered for containing weapons of mass destruction — since found not to exist in Iraq — or for removing an unstable tyrant, Bush lately has pressed the case that the war's legacy will be democracy.

		In my opinion it would be both just and proper to declare the treaty with France to be void--but I think it would be more advisable to direct reprisals than to declare war at present, for the public mind does not appear to me to be quite prepared for it....

	SparkNotes: John Adams: Quasi-War
		As part of the war footing, Congress passed and Adams signed what came to be known as the Alien and Sedition Acts–perhaps the most ill-conceived and illogical laws (not to mention unconstitutional laws) ever enforced.
		Adams stood almost alone in arguing that everything should be done to prevent the fledgling America from war with France, which was a powerful country despite its internal chaos.
		Jefferson found himself now on the defensive, pleading for help, as America shouted for war with the French: He explained that there was no proof that the agents in question actually worked for, or at least came under orders from, Talleyrand.

	The Avalon Project : Quasi War with France 1791-1800 - John Adams to the Senate and House
		The experience of the last war would be sufficient to shew that a moderate naval force, such as would be easily within the present abilities of the Union, would have been sufficient to have baffled many formidable transportations of troops from one State to another, which were then practiced.
		Yet the restriction has originated solely from a wish to prevent collisions with the powers at war, contravening the act of Congress of June, 1794, and not from any doubt entertained by me of the policy and propriety of permitting our vessels to employ means of defense while engaged in a lawful foreign commerce.
		While we are endeavoring to adjust all our differences with France by amicable negotiation, the progress of the war in Europe, tile depredations on our commerce, the personal injuries to our citizens, and the general complexion of affairs render it my indispensable duty to recommend to your consideration effectual measures of defense.

		Unlike Christianity, in whose name wars have been fought but without any Scriptural basis to support those wars to be found in the teachings of Jesus Christ, Islam can find explicit justification for its jihad or "holy war" within its sacred text.
