I have always felt that the term "war of terror" was a very vague and open-ended way of describing the fight in which we are engaged. We are engaged in a battle against a far-flung enemy that is disparate and not supported by any particular government. While I believe the president will probably continue to use the term occasionally, I think he will try to change the tone of the description overall. Of course, only time shall tell. After all, what he calls it and how he fights it are two very different things, the latter being the more important.
