Gulf War 1. Invasion of Panama. The 1994 invasion of Haiti, debatably. The Kosovo war, kinda.

Small correction: it was Gulf War 2, the first one was between Iran and Iraq (the US allied with Sadam back then, different story).

I mean, if the numbering system has to include every war ever fought in Mesopotamia, it would be more like Gulf War 200. You can't kick a rock in Iraq without hitting a cuneiform tablet describing a battle fought in 3500BC.
