I don't mean to be critical of those who have. Certainly, I have used the phrase frequently. Why do I say that? Because the word 'war' conjures up World War II more than it does the Cold War. It creates a level of expectation of victory and an ending within 30 or 60 minutes of a soap opera. It isn't going to happen that way. Furthermore, it is not a 'war on terror.' Terror is a weapon of choice for extremists who are trying to destabilize regimes and (through) a small group of clerics, impose their dark vision on all the people they can control. So 'war on terror' is a problem for me.</p></blockquote> http://kirkcaraway.com/12/12/2006/rumsfeld_coming_clean#comments rumsfeld Tue, 12 Dec 2006 15:40:10 -0800 kc 136 at http://kirkcaraway.com
