Hello kerravon,

I find this "War on Terror" terminology even worse and more vague than the whole "Cold War" thing. At least the Cold War had a definite end point — the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

What does it even mean to "win" a "War on Terror"? I can understand waging specific wars on specific groups, such as Al-Qaeda, or the Islamic State, or the Taliban. But how does one stamp out all possible "terrorist" activity in the past, present, and even future? At which point can one truly declare, "mission accomplished"?

Nobody speaks of a "War on First-Degree Murder" or a "War on Drunk Driving Accidents", in the same vein as one speaks (or spoke) of a "War on Terror". Why?

Really... think about these things.

Thank you!
