The Propaganda machine is now in high gear. "War on terror is out, global struggle against extremism is in". More BS fed to the American People. It sounds like an expansion to me.

"Recently, top officials of the Bush Administration have changed the way that they are talking about terrorism. They have stopped talking about a “war on terrorism.” Thinking it too narrowly defined, Administration officials now speak of a “struggle against global extremism.” Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld describes America’s policies as a “global struggle against the enemies of freedom, the enemies of civilization.”

Although all this may seem to be merely playing with words, this change is in reality something much more important: It is a clear-headed change of definition of America’s long-range strategic aims. It may not alter U.S. tactics or goals in the short run but could, over time, have a profound effect on the way Americans think about the current conflict against radical Islamic terrorist groups."

War is such an ugly word. Struggle sounds much better.

The minute you find rounds being fird at you WAR is the exact word that comes to mind. Tell a soldier coming back home that War is an ugly word. I did my time and chewed the dirt. I know!

Did you want to know about the Gang initiations out in California? Last I heard they were to drive by and shoot at the Armed force cops waving in traffic! So they do get shot at, at home.

I have no reason to doubt you.

Ok..... ok... We've gone off topic here.
The left in all shapes and form have been deemed extremes and their are a lot of angery youths mascarading under that banner. The patriot act is going to break its mould.

And war is ugly, don't give me any of your military macho bs. War is ugly! People die in it, infrastructure falls (and sometimes ends up in enemy control). Breakdown in order and Democratic capacity. You (*)(*)(*)(*)ing lunatic, you should be locked up. *Tokes dubie*
