Oh, bullshit. The “War on Terror” is Still Nonsensical. For the past months the media has been using the term “war on terror” as though it were a neutral description of U.S. military action in Afghanistan or of U.S. threats of future attacks elsewhere. On its face, the “war on terror” — or even “war on terrorism” — is at best a misnomer. How, exactly, does one declare war on a concept, on a tactic, and how would such a war be won? Even if we assume that what Washington really means when it says “war on terror” is “war on terrorists”, the term is deeply problematic. [kuro5hin.org]
