No War on Terror

The government of Great Britain has decided to no longer use the phrase "War on Terror".
"In the U.K., we do not use the phrase 'War on Terror' because we can't win by military means alone, and because this isn't us against one organized enemy with a clear identity and a coherent set of objectives," he said.
VP Dick Cheney isn't going to like that at all. He has already criticized Rep. Ike Skelton for also finding the phrase not useful. The reason I haven't cared for the phrase is that it implies there is someone specifically you defeat to win the so-called war. Even Don Rumsfield felt that the use of the phrase was wrong.
