So "Operation Barbarossa" -- no problem. "Operation Crossroads" -- no problem. "Operation Just Cause" -- should be "United States invasion of Panama" (which it is). "Operation Iraqi Freedom" -- should be something more neutral (it is currently "Iraq War", which I find a little too ambiguous, personally, since there have been many Iraq Wars, but anyway, anything is better than the operation name).

Personally I like "Gulf War II".
Actually, it's the third Persian Gulf War, the first being the Iran- Iraq War.
Then again, there were five or six world wars before World War I, so who cares?
