Yes, a name is important, if for no other reason than for history. Using the word War is also important, so we don't confuse it with crime. I agree that War on Terror is much too vague, so I think we need to get very specific. This is the Third World War. Anything less would be inccurate. But it also needs a sub title, e.g. The Third World War: Radical Islamic Jihadists versus all non- Radical Islamic Jihadists. Maybe that will get everyone's attention.

War on Terror? A matter of words. Only the ignorant make such a big deal of it. We are at war with Islamic Radicals/Extremists/Fundamentalists, etc., who see want to see our courtry destroyed. Why fight over words when we could put our heads together and fight the enemy!
