A drop of common sense
Obama junks "global war on terror" label
The Obama administration has junked the term “global war on terror” because it does not describe properly the nature of the terrorist threat to the US, according to Janet Napolitano, secretary for homeland security.
It never made much sense. Our enemy is one affiliation of groups that use terrorist techniques. Making war on every organization in the world that uses terrorist tactics is beyond our abilities and isn't something we need to do to stay safe.
