You don't eat the "war on terror" dogfood?

Absolutely not. I think the War on Terror should be called GB's War on Terror, and thinking people shouldn't refer to it as a war at all. It's a campaign or something like that, not a war.

What do you want to call it?

The situation in Iraq? Something along the lines of stabilization process or nation building effort. Definitely not a war (at least compared to what most of us think of as wars such as Korean War, WW1 and 2, etc.). Even in the Vietnam war, which has similarities, there was an opponent (N Vietnam) with their own geographical location, government, etc.

I don't think the current situation in Iraq (where the US military is fighting a variety of guerillas with a variety of agendas) is best described as a "war".

Anyway, as usual, it's Thursday night here and tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend, so I'm off to eat some tasty pork chops! Adios.
