A rose by any other name....

THE WAR ON WHAT?
As we mentioned yesterday, the Bush administration is abandoning the "War on Terror" moniker. It's not that terrorism has been defeated and all those who hate freedom lie vanquished, just that the "war on terror" has become too loaded with bad connotations (like: we're losing it).

The best new name they've come up with for this odd war is: "a global struggle against violent extremism."

Now, that encapsulates the daunting task, the brave fight for good, and the evil enemy we face--it's just not that catchy. So we asked you, dear readers, to help Uncle Don and Uncle Dick out. Without delay, then, here are some of our favorite new names for the war formerly known as against terrorism:


A Genocide on Fear
Renewable Enemy Program
The Neo-Crusades
War for a Terrorist-Free Lifestyle
The War with Radical Reality
Cowboys & Evil-Doers
Global Struggle Against Real Baaaaaaaad Vibrations
Big Dubya's Demolition Derby (Available in Hi-Definition to most residents of Iraq)
The Hunt for the Golden Egg
All Your Base Are Belong to US!
Fixing the F*ck Up
Democracy Inspiring Peace Initiative
Islamic Bacon

Pick your favorite and head on over to the Pentagon's website to throw your suggestion in the comment box.

The "War on Terror" is in its final throes. The time has come to set aside partisan politics and support our President. Won't you support President Bush in his global struggle to rename his war?
