After Daffygrl's topic letting us know the Bush administration plans on changing the phrase 'War on Terror', i thought it would be interesting if the community could come up with some suggestions for our beloved president.

Here are some of my suggestions to get the ball rolling (both serious and comical):

War on Extremism
War on Islamic Fundamentalism
War on Islam
War on Non-Oil Producing Terror States
Crusade vs. Jihad IV: Endgame


Ok i have more...but i don't want to steal other suggestions...let's see what we can come up with!

Hopefully these are jokes. I think that this administration should be very careful in the name it picks. Renaming it to "War on Islam" or something along those lines would do nothing but inflame the Muslim world, and give crediability to Osama bin Ladens claims that the West is at war with Islam thus increasing recruitment ever more.

psyclist, the point of the thread is a joke. Like if you want to name it 'war on funny looking people' opr something ridiculous like that. People can have serious suggestions but i threw out both serious and non-serious ones to start off.

Ok, just checking

War for no reason!

War of lies!

War for Power!

Umm... the point of the terminology modification (according to New York Times propaganda ) is to avoid the use of the term "war" in non-military contexts by government spokespeople... the phrase "counterterrorism efforts" works just fine for the serious folks.

Now, for the seriously silly... note that my suggestions do not actually contain the word "war."
