Perhaps it should be "a war on violent extremism". The world is full of extremists and we sure can't take them all on so perhaps "a war on extremist that are a threat" would be the way to go. None of these will fit on a bumper sticker so I don't think it will happen. Also if you call it a war, you make the folks on the other side into "soldiers". This is an honerable status I am not sure we want to grant them. They are criminals like the Mafia and nothing more. It will be easier to get other countries to help get rid of them if you assert that they are crooks that snuck into the place instead of soldiers for a cause. "Mr. Whosit, sir, we in the US have detected that several bad guys from the crime gang Lotsa Badguys have snuck into your country of Ohheckistan." gives the leadership of Ohheckistan an easy way to disown the terrorists. > > > Once the "war on > >terror" is over, I expect they will start the "war on ennui" or "a war > >on limerence". > > > Heck, we've "war on obesity" already:-) Obesity has won.
