I'm not saying either side's actions justify or negate the other's, just that that's an odd definition of balance.
I don't think your analogy helps your case either by the way; if the question asked "What operation ended Feb. 28" your analogy might make sense. But it's asking for the name of the *war*, and ending date is not the only criteria. People don't talk about the fourth period as if it is representative of the game itself.
